I also may have talked myself into it a bit.
Sounds good, thanks for not ignoring.
As for that answer, it leads me to the conclusion that either you were indoctrinated, or can't think much for yourself or logically. I could be wrong, however, but that's how it seems.

Atheism is an easy route? First, I'm Agnostic, which means that I don't claim to know whether or not God exists. Many classify this as weak-Atheism, however.
Science isn't my belief system. My beliefs are that religion is enshrouded in lies, hatred, and fear; and that I don't know whether or not God exists, but if he does, he will judge based on morality and logical wisdom rather than blindly following what you had been indoctrinated to believe forever.
I didn't choose Agnosticism or Atheism because it was easy, I chose it because it is logical, and doesn't require me to hinder myself from knowledge and open mindedness. If anything, blindly following a religion is much easier than researching religion and Theology, philosophy and psychology, debating over religion many times, and finally concluding anything. Along with being a minority among a world of 33% Christianity, and 85% religious, and a nation of 90% Christianity and 95% religious. When so many people disagree with you on such personal beliefs, they can be hostile, ignorant, and condoning towards you.
Sure, I took the easy cop out, while you are taking the hard, diligent road. Not many are able to do what you do. (Only 90% of people)
Evidence does not make anything easy, and faith does not make anything hard. It just makes the person with more faith than evidence look very stupid.
