1. Nope, Agnostic. I do however think that there does not need to be a reason. We as humans just have a hard time understanding that things do not revolve around us or exist simply because they exist.
2. I beleive that morality is partly a part of our humanity (a result of evolution), and partly a result of our upbringing. Some people lack morals, not in the sense that they literally have no morals but, they choose to do bad knowing bad.
3. Because a video game cannot be continued past the ending why do you play it? This life is my one and only chance at living, I want to make the best of what I have. I value life enough that I wish everyone could live a full, happy life and try to do what I can so that I do not disrupt others lives in a bad way. That said I hate to watch others throw their lives away in ridiculus religious bombings, spending their lives on their knees in fear of another persons lies told to them or spending their life on drugs and other substances.
4. See above, religion is like alchohol, it feels like a positive but, ultimately it remains a negative thing. Religious thinking spreads a lack of critical thinking, holds back science, including medical science and provides people with false hope. So my first point would be that superstitious beleifs hold back our society, you are praying to yourself when you might have grown up to be a doctor that saved lives or a scientist that developed an amazing technology. Religion even interupts actual grieving by telling you that people are in heaven and you will see them again. You don't need false hope, you need closure and to greive properly.
Point two is that often religious people think they are on a mission to convert us and I for one am sick of hearing about it or walking past three churches with big signs telling me I'm going to hell because I don't donate to their church every sunday.
5. No, again I am agnostic. I deny your (every religions) claims about a deity and see no evidence to support the existance of any personal god of gods. I could not possibly proove 100% that there is not a god anywhere because I do not know 100% of the things in the universe. If someone had evidence to demonstrate the existence of a god I'd be very interested to see it, however not one of the gods or deities conceived of to date has met the burden of proof.
Hope that gives some insight, some topics are not 100% to the point because that would defeat the point entirely. Yes or no answers are useless except for gathering statistics.
