[Serious]Why are you not a believer of the existence of God

[EntityX]

Atheism is a form of religion too. Do you atheists feel that you have to convince others that there is no God. I don't think anyone should force anyone to believe anything. I know there is a God but I can't prove it to anyone nor do I feel that it is my responsiblity to try to. I think we should all respect everyone else's beliefs and leave everyone free to believe as they choose to believe. I think it's good that believers in God encounter the views of atheists and try to get along with them and I think it's good for atheists to try to get along with people who believe in God.

The number of people murdered, raped, tortured and generally abused for NOT believing in one religion or another is vastly greater than those placed in similar circumstances by atheists for BELIEVING.

Although YOU have adopted your own spiritualism and frequently express that people should respect others' beliefs, unfortunately that opinion is not held by everybody. There are few people who adopt atheism and use it as a tool to manipulate and influence others into horrendous acts of violence, but there are plenty who hijack a religion and do the same thing.

You are also in the fortunate position in which your religious beliefs lead you to believe that wishful thinking along the lines of "if only we could all be nice to each other..." actually, physically CAN change the world. Although I share the sentiment, I do not believe that it will actually occur from the power of thought alone.
I express disagreement with religion primarily when people try to use religious arguments as a tool to motivate ME, or when I see it used to oppress or restrict others.
And, of course, when people ask me questions about atheism or suggest that I am a militant non-believer who really holds a religious position just like everybody else
