Why do you not believe in the concept of a God?

[Deesse23]

What lead you to become an atheist? Were you a believer before you became an atheist? What happened to cause you to turn away from your faith? What religion or God did you follow before you became an atheist if any at all? When you turned away from God what did your friends and family say or do?

I am interested to hear the impact it had on your life. Was it a positive one or a negative one? Are you still struggling with the outcome of your choice? How does it feel to be free from such ideologies and beliefs?

What lead you to become an atheist?:
I was raised a "culturela christian", like so many people. In my teens i realized that the idea of the christian god is contradictory and that there is not sufficient evidence fo rme to accept this proposition. It seems much more likely (in the absence of sufficient evidence) that this god is a creation of human minds than vice versa.

Were you a believer before you became an atheist?
Didnt go to church, was not an "active" believer. Rather someone who filled the gaps in his knowledge with the idea of a god, or lets say: My parents and environment filled those gaps startign when i was a child. If i hadnt been indoctrinated as a child, i may never had become religious in the first place.

What religion or God did you follow before you became an atheist if any at all?
Christianity, but as i just said, only because i was spoon fed as a little child.

Last but not least, regarding your thread title:
What concept? There are numerous, conflicing and contradictory concepts of deities out there.
I am ssusming you are talking about the concept of a christian god (and even witin christian religion there are disagreements over the general concept, hence schisms and persecution of fellow christians across the ages).

When you turned away from God what did your friends and family say or do? 
Not much. My parents were victims to childhood indoctrination just as i was, and they werent "strong" beleivers too. In my dads case i suspect he is a antheist as well.

How does it feel to be free from such ideologies and beliefs?
Well, i feel .....free. Other people have no power over me with religion.
