I'm not an atheist, I'm a person who doesn't believe in God. This is because it's stupid and illogical.

I would imagine that many people see science and physicality as a default, since it's largely undeniable and totally tangible. As such, the question - for them - isn't why they are atheists, but why others are religions. It is, afterall, religion that requires unprovable, unanswerable faith.

Why are others religious?

God's existence is something that should be assumed untrue and then proved otherwise, rather than the reverse.

Well I'll tell you why I'm agnostic. I think to prove or disprove the idea of god are two very extreme ends of the sprectrum. I think that somewhere in the middle is the logical place to be.

I see no reason to believe in god so I don't. I think religion is largely a bad thing so I don't subscribe to one.

Because we're crazy weird people who were abused as children, have no morals and want to engage in endless sexual debauchery and look forward to our ticket to hell.

It wasn't sarcasm, and I agree. Religion exists in humanity, though it's a shame it doesn't exist in devils (atheists).
