I just don't believe in God, I don't need reasons. I was raised a Christian and gradually moved on to neutral agnosticism, and finally to atheism (agnostic atheism to be specific). An education in science probably played a role. The reason I wanted to believe, I think, is because of the security blanket it provided (it's all part of some omnipotent being's plan and I could ask for help through prayer).
But that all just kind of faded away over time. I didn't need to rationalize it, I just lost interest in it. And I don't chide people just for being religious. If they try to make their morals laws or use it to justify violence and other hate crimes, then we have a problem. But if you're a "noninvasive" practitioner (to use Epoch's term) then whatevah.

Knowing that there is no objective meaning to life can be liberating at first, but it can also lead to idle, meandering actions that have a chance of being destructive to yourself or others.
