Most of my unanswered questions about god growing up did little at the time. I accepted the "faith" issue because I was terrified of gowing to hell. Then I started to think about the concept of heaven and hell, aka, eternity. The thought that eternity in all of its glory/anguish are determined by the decisions I make in a few short years of life on Earth-- and other's eterinity could be decided upon less than 1 second of life-- was utterly absurd. If that were the case, then life on Earth would be pointless by comparisson. Of course, now I have many more reasons for being an atheist, and every day I gain even more-- by coming to TRA :)
