In your mind, is your primary reason for not believing in God moral, scientific, or something completely different?

There is no evidence for a god(s).

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

To get me to believe? Testable evidence.

Why don't I believe: Lack of the above, contradictory documentation, etc

Oh, gosh, this question again.

Why do I not believe in your god?
It is unreasonable to believe in that which there is no evidence to support its existence.

What would it take for me to believe in your god?
Verifiable evidence of the god's existence and the god's divinity.

A complete lack of evidence has brought me to that conclusion.

Do you only believe in things that have testable evidence?

It would take a lot for me to believe. I've found the entire concept silly ever sense I was in 7th or 8th grade. Proof would be a great way to start though.

Why would you believe in something for which you have no evidence? Thinking
