My sincere answer to your sincere question is: do I have to be? While of course belief isn't a matter of choice, I nevertheless have the freedom, the latitude if you will, to follow the dictates of my conscience and not be tied down to rigid dogma. I do not give belief lightly; to a faith system I give it not at all, particularly one which necessitates the subjugation of my intellect, my learning and my moral compass.
To give my perspective a bit of context, consider the counter-question "why aren't you a Muslim/Sikh/Hindu/etc?" In fact, while I have your attention, "why aren't you an atheist?"
Edit: I see Rayaan beat me to the counter-question. Note to self - must type faster.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
