I'm a Christian.
It seems like there are a lot more athieists these days, but you'd be wrong to say the world is dominated by them, America is funamentally Christian, a woman who tried to change that was assasinated, and lets not forget the muslim extremists.
However, as I am aware, Athiesists is split into those who believe in science, and quite simple those who do not believe in anything, or simply do not hold an opinion on it, and do not care, as you Athiesists have pretty much explained what you are already, so owell.
I was brought up Christian, with my parents not heavy christians, but my dad obsessed with churchs.
I would say I've made up my own mind, but it's more the influences of me growing up in a christian society as to why I'm Christian.
I believe in God, because if he doesn't exist life is pointless, and I can't except us, and all of the proof of jesus, however, I do not believe the Old testament 100%, or didn't, as it contradicts the New testament, but I assumed it is made up of stories in which their meaning is true, and God changed his mind in the New testament. That being said I haven't read the bible.

Anyway, Science and religeon can go arm in arm together, and believe me, most of the Science we know is wrong, as it has been, and will be proved right in the future, but that is how science works, it gets closer and closer to the truth with our increasing technology.

I used to believe that God appeared to many groups of people, the jews, muslims, hindus, Christians, etc. but in different forms, and through the different groups different situations, they say him in different forms, or perspectives, explaining the diveristy of religeons, however, forgive me if I'm being Blasphmous, but many people and groups need religeon, and it is also a source of power.
So I'm not so sure of that theory, but I'm still christian.
*Edit* Havoc is that because no one believes in a tiger God here?
As responce for above, of course it is subjective, as the Catholics who added the pilgrimigages and limbo or whatever it is called has showed us, but I don't feel it has effected the bible so much, sure, the Old testament is favourable of Jews, and one can assume the Jews writing it made the jews stand out and such, but that's not to say it isn't true, and besides, I take the old testament for more stories and facts compared to the New testament of more solid facts.
As with proof of religeons, isn't the religeon existing alone proof, the existance of Jesus proof, and several other things I have learnt in religous studies that I cannot be bothered to go over, but there is actually a lot of proof out there. Of course, you can call a lot of things coincidences, like the Aztecs meeting the Spannish, but then that's more of a cowards way of saying "I don't know".
Why are there so many believes in religoens, and so many people who claiming to see their God/s? Are they all liars hallucients?
I didn't see the Root of All Evil, becuase from hearing about it I head it to be subjective, one sided, and he blantantly avoided addressing ideas from the other party or going into things were he would easily be proved wrong.
That being said, I respect all peoples choices of religeon, with the exceptian of satanists, which I feel is not what they actually believe in, but they do it for personal reasons like to rebel, remind me of emos which I also don't like as a group.
Other than that, if you have reasons for your religeon I can understand, I accept that, rather some of my freinds and peers at school which I can't understand their logic like, I don't believe in God becuase I have a screwed up life, and what to seem different and popular because being atheisist is so in right now, ok so noone actually says that but he meant the same thing.
