I believed in God because I was told so. In highschool I realized I don't have to believe in something because someone told me to.

So now I don't believe in it.

We live inside a computer program anyway.
Sounds kinda like my story except I was raised protestant. Typical religious household where they try to cram their beliefs down your throat. I went through a lot of switching back and forth from athiesm, to agnostic to religious again. I thought religion was flawed but a part of me couldn't shake away the years of indoctrination. I felt like I was doign something wrong by questioning christianity. I don't believe in Christianity anymore because a lot of it doesn't make much sense to me. But a lot of it also has to do with being sick of being told what to believe. I might feel the same way about athiesm if my parents were athiest.
