The reason I'm asking is that first of all, I'd like to do Religion or Philosophy in University next year, and I'd like to have an open mind about God.

Second of all, I like writing novels, and I'm currently writing one about modern satanists and Christians. Of course I'd like to see a lot of different opinions and ideas for this.

Note: Sorry for the spelling mistake in the video, I of course meant Atheist xD
Song: So Help Me God by Fireflight

FYI: I also know a lot about Buddism, I studied it for two years along with Science vs Religion, and a little part of the course was Morality (and whether people were not moral without religion, etc).

Heres my view:

I'm a complete atheist. I have several reasons, a few I don't want to share on here, but I can tell you that none of my prayers were ever answered. I knew it wasn't a case of "God can I have this and that." I was asking for help when I needed it. 
I think it is very stubborn and arrogant to think that somehow humans are "better" than the other animals, when we're the ones who caused all the havoc on the earth in the first place. Also, I have a dog, and I have to say that she has more of a soul than most people I know. There is overwhelming evidence for evolution and none at all for creationism.
Also, why did God give us free will then if we are atheists, we are more likely to go to hell? I have been told by Christians that I am going to hell because I don't believe.
Most, if not all, atheists I know are ex-Christians, including myself (I was raised as a mormon). I changed very radically from a Christian to an Atheist around two years ago, I was suffering from depression, but when I came out of it, I felt no desire to believe in God again. 
Also, the whole Christians-against-gays I find very offensive (I know not all Christians are but a lot are). I'm not gay, but I do have friends who are. Why would God create gay people if they were "bad"? A lot of people have said gay people "choose" to be so, but its not a choice. I have a gay friend who frequently wishes he was not gay, but he can't help it.
Also, why does God send us down to earth to test us if he already knows what we're going to do? 
Atheism is ideal for me because an Atheist makes their own moral virtues, etc, etc.
Please don't be offended by this!
If you try to convert me, I will delete your comments and block you. I would never force my beliefs on anybody else.
