Could you possibly provide just a few really rough examples? Like, point form if you'd like. It doesn't need to be amazingly clear, I can do the research myself, but just so I can start to put it into some sort of context because I feel like my questions haven't even begun to be answered. I understand what atheism means but I'm still not 100% sure what the roots of those beliefs are. And I'm aware that there is research and math and science and philosophy involved but I'd just like something that I can START to wrap my mind around. Like, what would you say to someone who has no concept of atheism and you wanted to give them a really general idea of a few specific things that lead you to this belief?
And I'd just like to reiterate that I myself have not decided on a particluar belief, so I'm not knocking atheism ( I could very well find that I am truly an atheist at the end of all this), but I need things to make sense in my head before I can truly say, "yes, I agree, there is no POSSIBLE way that a god could exist. All the evidence ABSOLUTELY PROVES this."
So thank you to everyone that is helping me along with this.
