I have been on these forums before, but not for a couple of months. During those couple of months, I have done a stack of research on Atheism, Christianity and religion in general and my view hasn't changed. I am still a full-blooded atheist and see little reason to change.
Do not see me as someone who has made my mind up and has no chance of changing. I would gladly convert to a religion should I see sufficient evidence and reason to do so.
One huge reason that I do not follow Christianity or any religion it that other religions exist. Let me explain:
As an atheist, I think about my religious choices literally every day, if not, every hour and have never strongly considered a religion partly for that reason.

One huge reason that I do not follow Christianity or any religion it that other religions exist. Let me explain:
- I live in Australia; not the most religious country by any means but still a Christian nation.
- I only have one Christian friend. I am technically Jewish never for one second followed Judaism, and as a result, almost all of my friends are Jewish or atheist.
- The only Christian experience I have had was when I went to a Christening when I was 8 (I am 15 now).
- Almost all of the many, many hours of video I have watched on the internet of religion has been about Christianity and I therefore use that as my main example
- When I hear people who are so confident that Christianity is the real deal, I think for a second about it and then figure that someone in India is just as confident about Hinduism, just like someone in Iran about Islam, just like someone in Israel about Judaism.
- I'm not saying if Christianity was the only religion, I'd definitely believe in it, I'm really asking you if it ever crosses your mind (assuming you are Christian) that there are more people in the world who not only disagree with your religion, but believe in something completely different to you and yet, are just as confident they are doing the right thing.
