THere's nothing to reconsider.
Many of us are former theists. Been there, done that, (literally) bought the t-shirt, but managed to avoid the cool-aid.
The risk of offending the Abrahamic deity is on par with offending Odin, Osiris, Zeus or Quetzacoatl.
I'm not going to start believing in a god just in case it may be real - not only is that dishonest but if the deity is all-knowing, as it's depicted, then it would see through the ruse anyway.
Also, if I started believing in one god just in case, I'd have to believe and worship them all, just in case. And I really don't have the time for that.
Better to live a life of honesty and personal integrity.
Also, if the Abrahamic god is truly real, there's no way I could justifiably worship that monster.
