The reason I'm not a Christian is because I can't think of any reason to be one. I was a Christian for years and then one day it occured to me that, despite what the church said, I was allowed to consider the possibility that god didn't exist. Ten seconds later I'm agnostic, and after a few more months (the next time I gave religion any thought) I'm a full blown atheist. I didn't really have to think about it much, and I didn't read a lot of the bible, but the I knew that the stories I did know (Noah's Ark, Adam and Eve, the ressurection) were implausible. Doing research into some things online hasn't strengthened my atheism much (I was already a strong atheist) but it has given me new counter-arguments (which I will probably never end up using in real life because I'm a closet atheist).
