I am an Atheist because I have morals. I know what causes harm and what does not.
I studied all three major religions and found them reprehensible.
They are nursing all the EVIL in this world.
They are responsible for most wars in our history.
All religions are inhumane. Enslaving and exploiting people. They cause long-term mental and physical harm.
Never mind that their story lines are nonsense put together by people from the times when these texts were written.
Show me one sacred text that talks about bitcoin hashing algorithm and I'll believe.

You only have morals because God built all people with knowledge of the law inside of them. You can choose to disobey the law of God within you, but it is difficult for any of us to see the law clearly enough to obey it perfectly. This is why God gave us the Bible, in part, so that we could read the law clearly when we were having trouble seeing it within ourselves.
By far the greatest killing was done by people who didn't care about religion or the law within themselves very much, or the law written in the religious books: Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Temujin, etc.
You have to a bit more specific. Which God?
Well, it certainly isn't the god you are portraying yourself to be when you talk like you know all kinds of things better than God does.
Say whaaaaat?
You, me, pope and the latest suicide bomber are all the same. We are not Gods, just plain, mortal monkeys from Africa.
Again, which God are you talking about? Jesus, Allah, Zeus, Yahweh or Shiva?
BTW, they are all myths.
If you obey laws given by one God you are disobeying laws of 5000+ other Gods that you don't 'follow'.
How many times do I have to tell you this same thing that you have no answer for?
Nobody is an atheist. People who claim that they are, are liars. They might be quite innocent liars, but they are only attempting to believe that God doesn't exist. Why?
Because nobody knows that God doesn't exist somewhere that they have not looked for Him yet. And because they know this about themselves, that He might exist somewhere that they haven't looked, yet.
Self-proclaimed atheists, at best, are wanna-be atheists.
I am certain that all religions are bunch of hog wash. Bullshit invented by the people for the people.
As far as questions about unknowns, I know they are unknown. I am not trying to invent answers without any evidence.
I have many questions for which I could easily say, yeah: "God did it", but that would not get me closer to the truth.
How did the Big Bang happen and why?
Are there other universes? How can we tell?
Are there other dimensions? Are they detectable or can they be deduced mathematically?
Are there parallel universes?
Is our universe just a programmable matrix-like reality? Are we just a computer project for some high-school students in some Alien society in far away universe?
So am I an Atheist? Of course I am. Your Holy trinity or bloodthirsty Allah did not create universe billions of years ago. That I am certain.
Religions other than atheism are not the focus here. You talk about them because you don't have any answer for the fact that there aren't any atheists, but only atheist wanna-be's.
What are you talking about? I just told you who real Atheists are. People who know for sure that none of the Gods exist.
Not one of the 5000+ Gods in human history ever manifested itself.
You can say whatever you want, but the fact remains the same. No God. No evidence.
Atheists are people who care about the truth.
If you want to have a philosophical discussion about some undefined 'God concept', let's have it.
Just don't tell me it is your Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu (or any other human invented myth) God, because it is easy to prove that those 'Gods' were invented by the people for the people. There is no question about them. Just open these sacred texts and read for yourself. All pure, 100% bullshit from the beginning to the end.
Define God, then we can talk about its existence. If you start with "it is Jesus our Lord because the Bible says so", the conversation is over.
