Are people really atheists, or just rejecting religion?

I'm a believer in a creator. I don't have any problem with it at all.
Theories are one thing, but they are theories.

Well as someone said each to their own and that’s how it should be.

Apparently though you can’t sing religious stuff outside church grounds,not in London anyway you might get arrested (worlds gone mad) 

My family are in the main quite religious I’m not,my old dad was brought up strict Methodist he joined the forces and had to kill people and they tried to kill him.

He always said you only live once and when you’re dead you’re dead that’s it there’s nothing so make the best of and I believe that too, but he did say always try to do what’s right and I try my best but don’t always succeed.

I'm an atheist so I'm not arguing for a deity, but logically, surely the question of what can expand depends on the materials used and on the conditions in which those materials are used? And why could a 'creator' not use those materials and exploit those conditions? 

I would say I am more of an agnostic than an atheist. Atheism implies certainty and seems to almost be a religion in itself. I suspect we are the result of a cosmic cockup rather than some planned creation but don’t know for sure and honestly don’t much care.

The rules of religions are intended to provide a framework for how society can run along together - while details vary by religion, the underlying concepts are similar - and generally are not a bad set of rules to live by with some rules now feeling outdated. For example it is sensible for Muslim people to bury their dead more quickly than Christians because Islam is more prevalent in hit countries where bodies spread infection more quickly than more temperate countries.

Organised religion is a form of controlling the masses. It does however provide a sense of unity and a supporting community that those of us not religious sometimes lack.

Too many people seem to want to win arguments and prove they are right. If you want to be religious of whatever faith, that’s cool. If you want to be athiest that’s cool too. Just don’t try to persuade me to be the same or tell me I’m wrong.

You've never baked a cake or a loaf of bread or worked with puff pastry, then?
