i'm not religious. I kind of believe in heaven and hell in a sense. I don't think they're physically real, but I think people's mental states go there? idk how to explain it.
In modern ethics the girl next to me asked to be moved just because i'm not religious.

If God existed , he wouldn't have made scientists prove he doesn't exist
God gave people free will. They can try to deny him if that's the path they really want to choose. Besides, science hasn't disproved God's existence. Perhaps caused speculation in certain people, but not disprove his existence.

Well, science is like religion, they say something and you believe because they are suposed to be right
I'm not religious though

atheists who act like theyre above religion saying sht like this makes me laugh tbh. im not a relgious person, but theres literally no difference from what youre saying to how a christian feels about the bible. if its in the bible, devout christians believe it. if some farfetched scientific theory is said to be 'scientifically proven' youd believe it straight away, without actually testing the theory for yourself. im not saying you specifically feel that way but i just wanted to mention this

but isn't it also believed that free will resulted in sin? which is why Adam and Eve ate the apple off the tree of knowledge and God made them provide for themselves?

Yeah. All they had to do was not eat the apple, but they did and because of it they had to pay the price. They missed out on so many blessings because they listened to the serpent (Satan) instead of God. Free will can be good or bad depending on how people choose to use it.
Edit: That's not to say God created sin. Adam and Eve chose to abuse God's gift to them and by their choice sinned against God.

You guys really don't know much about this at all.
Try reading Thomas Aquinas' 5 proofs of the existence of God, The Consolation of Philosophy of Boethius, and DesCartes' Meditations on First Philosophy if you want solid answers to all your questions. Otherwise you have no place in saying whether or not you believe in God. If you don't understand the fundamentals, you probably won't know how to properly put advanced arguments in their proper place.

There's way too many religions in the world, I think. Christianity is just the most popular, mainstream one. I think it'd be silly to stick to it. I think religion holds us back as a species quite a bit. We should relay on basic morals and values to keep us going, not by some book wrote an uncertain amount of years ago by who knows. That's just my opinion, though. When I see people in foreign countries getting their heads sliced off because they haven't converted, I don't see the point of religion just so some people can pray for some other group of people and clear their consciences somehow.
While I think it's important to have something you believe in, I don't think religion is healthy at all. Some Christians handle things better than others, I'll admit, but as a whole, I just think religion is useless and should be more of a personal matter than one to shove down people's throats all the time, especially in the media.
Like I said before, I believe people should go on their own individual spiritual journeys and come out believing whatever they want to, but not interfering or disrespecting any other people's beliefs. I don't disrespect religious people (well, not all of them at least); I disrespect religion. Buddhism is the only one I can remotely respect. I think their morals and values are great and I try to incorporate them into my daily life as much as possible.

nah i'm fine with not believing in gods or any religion w/o reading anything. ik what i believe
theres not much difference between these two things. the foundation of religion is religious people. as such, you should learn to respect both even if you dont agree with them. im sure youd like us to respect your beliefs even if we dont agree with them

This is exactly what I hate about religion. When I say that I don't believe in the existence of "god" and people try to pin it on me that I'm uneducated. I'm perfectly educated considering I grew up in a Christian home. I don't need to read your theories and see your "proof" about why I need to believe god exists.

Talk to me, superstar. What do you want?
i used to believe in god when i was under 12 but i just stopped after a while, it felt a bit hopeless to me. im not denying that there is or isnt a god because i dont know if there is, but i dont believe in a god. i will go to church if im invited though, but i often dont care to listen to the sermons (i think thats what theyre called) i just do it to be nice
mythology is really fun to study though, greek and egyptian gods are cool.
