It isn't about whether I think it's a good idea or not. I'm an atheist because I looked at the information, saw the similarities between christianity and all the other mythologies at the time, found out about contemporary cultures, and asked myself if I really believed all this was true. Did I really accept the core principles of christianity, and want to worship the god described in the bible. My answer, as an adult, was no. Hence I'm an atheist. Is it a good idea to be an atheist in a predominantly christian community? No. Probably not. I can't help it, though.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
