In the most minimalistic sense, my disbelieve of a God is based upon it's incredibility as a hypothesis as to the creation and function of the universe. I was raised a Catholic, and believed myself to be devout for more than a decade. However, the more I exposed myself to the sciences, the more I noticed inconsistencies with what I had believed. What gave me the push to atheism was the simple question "Is God, a magical thing in the sky, really the best explanation that we as intelligent beings can come up with for the universe?" Obviously I think the answer to the question to be definitively no. From there, I delved into the more detailed aspects of Atheism, which brings me to where I am today. I hope that helps in your "understanding."
