While I'm open to speculating the possibility of the logically unknowable such as deities or other complex alien life-forms, without evidence, without proof the subject in question is demonstrable, I've no reason to change my lack of belief. Atheism, i.e. disbelief is the default position. Subjective personal experiences cannot be trusted as reliable proof of god or gods, I'd have to change my standards of evidence to an appallingly low level before I could ever reconvert back to theism, that, or suffer a brain haemorrhage.

Unless my logic, my cognitive faculties are somehow impaired (sadly no one can rule out the possibility of damage to the brain through accident or illness) I can't see how my inquiry into truth, discerning fact from fantasy, can be squashed with primitive religious dogma.
