I don't know whether or not there is a God. I don't believe people's claims that their God is the true God.
There are a few reasons, primarily that a Christian will make claims such as "He healed me after I prayed, I've seen him/talked to him/heard him, had visions" etc etc
Whilst a Muslim, Sikh, Pagan, Hindu, Buddhist (not God, but similar experiences) Baha'i, Jew, Scientoligist, etc etc will make the exact same claims about their God/religion.
Even if I were to concede that a God is real... Which one?
While this is all going on, science is there in the background gradually making progress, explaining all these phenomena through natural means - eliminating the need to say God did it.
EDIT: I was raised Christian... By the way.
