Why do people think there is no God?

Evolution has no proof, has never been observed, tested, and measured to any extent, but neither can creation be tested. But we can look at the universe and everything around us and see Gods attributes:\n\n"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,"\n\n-Romans 1:20\n\nBut the main reason there is no hard evidence is because we must believe with a heart of faith.\n\nLots of things cant be seen, doesnt mean they dont exist.

There is no proof that God does not exist.\nThink about it:  if God does not exist, then there cannot be any proof of His non-existence.  You can never prove that something does NOT exist.\n\nSo, what does that make a person who believes that God does not exist (aka atheist)?  Someone who believes something based on no evidence.  And what do we call a belief based on no evidence?  Faith.\n\nAtheism is just another religion, with all the texts, all the dogma, and all the faith necessary for any other mainstream religion.

No, I don't believe in any gods. I have never experienced or perceived anything at all that makes me think a god exists. It isn't possible for me to believe in something that has no evidence for it, that would be like me believing there is a flying cow in this room with me now.\n\nI'm perfectly satisfied with my lack of belief because it isn't contradicted by anything that I've come across. It wouldn't bother me if a god did exist, I would be quite satisfied with that too if that was where the evidence took me. It isn't though, so I continue lacking belief.

OK WELL BEFORE ANYONE GETS AFFENDED IM NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND JUDGE NO ONE IM JUST GOING TO HELP ANSWER UR QUESTION.THE WAY I SEE IT PEOPLE HAVE THERE OWN BELIEFS AND THEY GO BY WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD AND RAISED TO BELIEVE.WE ARE ALL HUMAN WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES AND IF SAYING THERE IS NO GOD JUST MIGHT BE A MISTAKE TO CERTAIN PEOPLE. I BELIEVE IN THE LORD AND IT IS TRUE THERE ARE SO MANY RELIGIONS WHEN IN FACT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD THAT IS WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND BUT SEE EXACTLY WHAT I SAID WE ARE RAISED TO BELIEVE IN WHAT WE ARE TOLD SO THAT IS WHY PEOPLE WORSHIP OTHER GODS. SO CHRISTIANS ,CATHOLICS EXT... ALL HAVE THERE DIFFERENT BELIEFS. YOU ALSO HAVE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED IN GOD AT ONE POINT IN TIME BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED SO BAD IN THERE LIFE AND THEY PRAYED AND THEY FELT THEIR PRAYERS WEREN'T ANSWERED SO THAT CAN BE ONE REASON BUT THERE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT REASONS WHY PPL DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD. IT SUCKS BUT ITS TRUE!

It takes more faith to believe that there is no GOD then it does to believe that there is a GOD... If someone is reasonable they must admit there are only two ways that the universe could have came into existance. Either it was all created by an all powerful, all knowing GOD, or it just created itself for nothing and by nothing... I'm no math wizard but I do know that nothing + nothing = nothing and GOD + nothing = everything...

We don't believe in God. Therefore we also don't believe in heaven or hell.\n\nSome of us were brought up in non-religious households, some turned away from religion for whatever personal reason. There are many, many reasons why people are atheist - as many reasons as people are religous. I am atheist because the thought that there is a god who tests peoples faith and judges them on how well they worship him appalls me. I hope other athiests will tell you why they don't believe.\n\nI do, however, respect people's religious beliefs and believe that we each have the right to our own faith. I would not want to deny anyone the right to their beliefs.\n\nSome people think that atheists are ignorant, arrogant or just plain stubborn, that we have no morals - sometimes these are people who claim their religion preaches tolerance and respect. Atheists don't feel that we need God's guidance to tell us what is right or wrong - that comes down to common sense and a desire to protect and continue humanity.\n\nMost of us have reached our belief through a lot of thought, and that decision doesn't come lightly - it takes courage to stand up and say that you don't believe in God. \n\nI hope this has helped.

No.  There is no god.  There's no evidence pointing toward the existence of a god or gods, and no reason to suspect that such evidence just hasn't been found yet.

They will just make some stuff up about god always being there.  Why can't they just accept there isn't a god?

There is no such thing as god, its a man made concept.\nDont worry about it. When you die your dead thats it.

The reason why they don't believe is because they have never experienced his greatness, and its ok, i mean as long we let them know thats the only way to salvation, then its up to them. I believe in God, because He has never let me down, I don't need to see him, but I have seen his greatness in my life. For the people that don't believe many times family members were taken away from them(death) or they had such a terrible up bringing, or they have different beliefs... only if u experience God in a personal level, will u actually believe he exist.. everyone can breath the bible on you, and preach u to death, but until u ask God to show you his existance u need to be ready and pay attention.

You cant see God therefore not many people believe in him. It is hard to believe a supernatural being made all of us.

That's more a question for the Philosophy section.  In the Religion section, you're speaking to people who believe... and are therefore not likely to believe God is anything but Truth.\n\nBut to answer the question more directly, we have no way of knowing.  There's no palpable proof of God, but no one knows if there's a God or not.  Maybe so, maybe no.  We'll either find out or blink out, eventually.  My guess is that we'll sort of be non-sentient energy that eventually goes back into something living.  But you might get to be part of a star first, or churn through a volcano.\n\nBut no one knows.  People have faith and believe they know, but no one knows for sure one way or the other.  :)

If there is no God, then I have two things to consider: Either there is an afterlife, or there is not. If there is none, then there is no me to be sad. If there is, then I hope that I will have lived the life I wanted to.\n\nIn any event, I am striving to live a life that I will be proud of when I die. Whether there is or is not some God, Goddess or Deity, I hope that I can be proud of the life I have lived when it is time for me to travel to the summerland.

There is no "actual" proof of there really being a god. People are just so fixated on "god" that people in turn believe that he and/or she is real.

It takes what one would call 'faith'. I personally consider myself to have no religion, therefore I don't entirely understand why someone, rather most people in this world, would believe in a 'higher power', an 'intelligent creator', or 'GOD'.
