What I'm saying is rejecting religion isn't the reason you're an atheist. Believers outside of religions, agnostics or just spiritual people reject religion too and don't subscribe to indoctrinating beliefs.
By all means, point out the flaws in religion. But those are the reasons you are not religious. Not the reasons you are an atheist.

I am an atheist because I require proof or some sort of indication of proof before I believe something. Simply the possibility of a God's existence isn't enough for me. The closest we have are the Laws of Physics and explaining the origins of them.
But this thread is focused on the moral aspects of structured religion, which is why I emphasized them as opposed to the scientific aspects.
