Deneb, I hope you don't mind if I ask you a personal question. I'm just genuinely curious about this:
How can you know you're an atheist (to be against faith in God), when you claim that you don't know much about religions (which are mankind's attempts to reach God)?
I guess, in order to be an atheist, you should know what it is you don't want any part of...
One book that I've recommended to my atheist friends (or agnostic, as most of them actually were) is "Finding Faith" by Brian McLaren... an easy-to-read, unoffensive, honest search for faith in God...
He wrote it for those who are searching, but not sure what they're searching FOR.
I hope it will help you, or at least support you in overcoming your unease...
I hope you'll find a generous measure of peace...
Shalom, Dena
