Is It Hypocritical Of Me To Be Athiest?

[Creed of Heresy]

Hey there,

I'm new here.

I was wondering if I could have your views/opinions on this?
Basically, I've never read the bible, I've never been to church (apart from weddings/funerals and when I was dragged along a few times as a kid) and I've really never made any effort to really look into anything religion-based, but I just don't believe what I've heard. I know the basic story that there's a God who made the Earth bla bla bla, and he had a son who killed himself for our sins ... you know.

Is it hypocritical of me to be an athiest when I've never properly looked into Chrisitanity?

Thanks.

Negative, good sir with an awesome user name! You are simply an individual who did not have a religion taught to you when you grew up, and as such, you have the default stance, which is to be an atheist.

I would encourage you to seek out a member here by the name of "Vinnie." Well, it's something more than just Vinnie. It's Vinnie somethingorother. But either way, find him on this forum and be sure to inform him you disprove his claim that people are born religious as opposed to born atheists.

And welcome to the forum!
