So far the existance or non-existance of a creator has not been proven. Therefore I will call myself an agnostic atheist. I believed that civilisations have tried to use various religions to try and explain the unknown. Many people, especially philosophers, have tried, speculated and used various philosophies to try and explain where it (us/universe/life/etc) all came from but have failed. All we can do is guess and wonder... I will however not settle for religion to try and explain the unknown, especially the Christian God. My believe is that Christianity is yet another man-made religion and it gets used to control the masses and to fill the coffers of the rulers. Our fear of our mortallity and the unknown keeps us from asking too many questions which obviously helps to upkeep the Christian followers
I am open to believe but havn't had any plausible evidence to support a believe in the Christian God as the creator. I hope this answer your question
