The reason I don't believe in God is because I have never felt the need to hypothesise the existence of a God, so for me trying to prove that there is/isn't a God is neither here nor there. I also don't understand atheists who are religious about their atheism, like it's a creed. You can't prove or disprove the existence of a God, deal with it. I have tried neither. Having said that, I think many of the Christian morals and values in the New Testament are worth considering, so there is at least one person out there to whom Christian morals in general are not the reason for not believing in a God.

@ocrdu, thank you for that response.
I have dealt with many who take great offense that God would try to restrict their choices in life with His laws, so that was the viewpoint that I was writing from.
That is why I like to make sure to include things like "in my opinion" when I share about things like this.
Funny then, that when you replace "God" with "the group they want to belong to" in your first sentence, they don't take any offense, because they voluntarily accept that group's belief system. My personal morals also restrict my choices in life, but I'm rarely offended by myself.
Good point @ocrdu!
