I would say "yes" for reasons that would require an even longer thread, having to do with the absurdities and self-contradictions within Christian theology and branching out into the lack of proof for its extraordinary claims.
For now, let's just say there are many religions and many supposed gods out there. Why yours and not theirs? To say, "oh but in the case of my religion, it's true" without substantial evidence to back up that claim is just special pleading.
Instead of worrying over which collection of unproven supernatural or magical beliefs is really true, why not just stick with the natural universe? Perhaps the reason it seems like a natural universe is because it is.
In fact, that's probably the biggest reason I rejected Christianity was the stark contrast between the world of the Bible, drenched in overt supernatural activity, and the real world that was around me when you put that book down. It's a natural universe governed by predictable laws and best understood by science and reason. All supernatural claims, be they ghosts, angels, demonic possession, magic, healing crystals, etc. have either not been proven true or proven not to be true.
Once I put the claims of the Bible to the test:
It's.
not.
real.
Stop being afraid.
