Youthful rebellion.

It was incompatible with my sinful lifestyle.

Religion has too many judgmental hypocrites.

I did temporarily become a christian to provide some answers in one of our threads, when no actual Christians wanted to answer.

Why did I leave? I couldn't be arsed to change my religious views on my profile.

I'm a theist now.

Okay now I'm an atheist again.

That was a truly irrational period of my life! Wow! What was I thinking a few seconds ago!

Probably the biggest is that I don't agree with an innocent person being killed for the crimes of the guilty, or the punishment for existing being eternal fiery torture. I was told that god wants me to come to him willingly. I can't do that under those circumstances.

I don't know how a perfect being can "want" anything. The whole thing is bollocks-out stark raving lunacy.

I certainly don't know how this trash heap of a planet can maintain its interest. It can barely maintain mine.

I was "obligated" to be "sorry" for being upset about something that I had every moral right to be upset about.  Why would I ever be "sorry"?  And was starting to be very uncomfortable about being required to accept situations and people in my life that I did not want there just because they were going to church too.  

I've come to learn a lot about religion for what it really is since leaving and am very confident and satisfied with my decision.
