I have tried before and come back to religion. How can I STAY an unbeliever once I've deconverted?
You can stay an unbeliever if you are concerned about the reality of the world, instead of the "truth" that can be found in some old tome.
Even if that reality overrides your own wishful thinking... even if that reality doesn't care about the fate of any single individual... even if the world is what it is.
How can you believe in any mythology, if you are fully aware of their humble man-made origins?
OH, you're not aware of the origin of most mythologies? Or better, you're only aware of the version that each mythology tells? how convenient for them, huh?
How about the part where those different origins are incoherent? Which to accept, then? The one you've been told to accept all your life, simply due to being born in one particular place in the world? Doesn't sound like a valid reason, to me... but who am I? Just some random internet stranger...
