Atheism leads to science

[JU Mike]

I voted "interest in science brought me to atheism." Some how I just couldn't see how I'm supposed to believe in a supernatural entity, but at the same time be a skeptic (which is what scientists are by nature).

Makes sense to me. I suppose that is why Hay-zeus seems to be so damned non-semitic...

For me it was science and history that made me change to atheist. Since 9th grade i've been looking at news and seeing how religion is messing up the country, i had recently moved in, with their fears of immorality, abortion cases, evolution, etc. Something that i still remember is this girl that was a big christ fan and asked if i would comit abortion on a baby, blah blah, and said "congrats u killed mozart" only to read that in the God Delusion book.
Ever since 9th grade i've been pulling away farther and farther from religion, because of its prone of violence, and claim of righteousness, when many philosophers have been abled to draw better moral guidelines, and scientist have been able to prove alot of the question that the bible can't even answer. So for me it was science, history, and politics that got me into atheism.

Also especial thanks to the god delusion by Dawkins, it gave me the courage and rationalization i need to support myself the first days :P
