I wanted to demonstrate (to myself) that there can be no belief in god without faith, because there is no compelling reason to believe in god that does not require god to exist. Therefore, I feel that I have no reason to believe in god. I am incapable of faith in something with no evidence (in the religious sense of the word, of course I have faith that my mom will be alive when I arrive at her house later, for example).
Well that's confusing. You thought you could separate belief in God and belief in him existing?
And are you saying that without hard evidence you wouldn't believe? Because that's how EVERYONE believes. Only the certifiable believe on hard evidence.
speaking of which...

@ Atheist_named_Christian :
Thanks for expandig on your points. I repeat mine back at you. What has been done in the name of Christianity, and what we know Christianity to stand for, are two different thngs.
