I think for most of us, atheism (defined in this context as a lack of belief in a god) is a search for the truth.
In my case, I look at our world and see all of the damage that religion has done. I see otherwise intelligent people spouting the most ridiculous things. I see our children being indoctrinated. I see wars and killing and jihad and intolerence and mysoginistic societies.
Personally, I think religion in general is the single most destructive force on our planet.
I would like to live to see the end of religion. Won't happen, but maybe if I pray about it real hard...
