Right, I know there are a lot of religious people out there, but I'm not religious, and I have reasons;
1) If God existed, why would we fight?
Think about how many wars this world has seen. If God were some all-mighty, kind, loving man in the sky, like people want me to believe, then why would people of different religions wage war against each other? This issue brings me to;
2) If God existed, why would there be suffering?
We all know that suffering is in every country, more so in others. So, if God really 'saved the worthy', why would so many be in the streets, or starving, or dying from disease? How does God know who is worthy? And on that note;
3) If God exists, how does he know who is truly faithful?
This issue is the one that bugs me the most. Not only is it impossible for even a supernatural being to know who believes in him and who doesn't, it's impossible for him to MANAGE the people of earth. Think about it; how would you like it if over 6 billion people lived on a little ball of rock, and YOU were the one who decided their ultimate fate. And you had to be nice to everyone, and punish the bad, and reward the good. How would you know which is which?
4) If God exists, does he even care?
Even if God did exist, why would he give a damn about the people of earth? He could just crush us and create a new race, a better one. Maybe he's a sadistic psycopath; maybe he's just really lazy. Or maybe, he's just a figment of people's imagination, made to be the scapegoat of all disasters.
5) And finally, If God exists, and he can do it, why won't he answer everyone's prayers?
Ah, the question of prayers. If God could hear them, and deal with them, why doesn't he? Why doesn't he answer a little girl's prayer for her daddy to come back from Heaven, or an old man's prayer that his disease is cured? What about the people who pray for the salvation of Mankind? What about those who pray for their families, or the families of others? Why doesn't he create peace and harmony, like so many wish for?
I hope you can answer these questions, because I want to know the answers.

- ...Uh... okay? What about the choice to wipe out those of a certain religion just because they pray different? Why would god want his believers to kill each other?
