Like, VOID. I too must speak for myself.
I rejected the whole religious thing mainly on lack of convincing evidence. Many things have played a role in my continuence atheistic state. I was an atheist long before I knew of the word 'atheist'. Religion just seemed too simplistic and unrealistic. It seemed like some corrupt company trying to sell you it's shoddy goods. Only religion was trying to sell me it's shoddy lies like "afterlife". It just seemed odd and convenient that you cannot possibly know it's a pack of lies until you are long dead. Where you cannot tell anyone who still lives of that lie. Theres no way anyone can test such a claim. Very convenient...too convenient.
So I never bought it.
Religion makes claims that cannot possibly be tested and so I reserve judgement til there is some evidence to point one way or the other. Religion and it's claims remain rejected/dismissed as nothing more than baseless assertions. Just a belief.
Personal experiance means nothing to me.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
