I'm not Atheist because I believe there has to be a greater force out there. Because of everything in life, enviroment and people. I think there has to be a greater force out there that created this. How could there be stars billion miles away? Our minds, the way we think. Id on't think any of this has happened by chance. It sucks though that people criticize you for being atheist. There's nothing wrong with that, it's your belief. I'm sure you have valid reasons why you are atheist.
