in the existence of a deity, and even less reason to believe that the deity that may or may not exist is in fact the Judeo-Christian god.
I can give evidence that most (if not all) of the supposedly supernatural events used in support of Christianity either didn't happen or have natural explanations.
And I can show that atheists are among the most-persecuted groups in America, even more so than homosexuals or ethnic minorities:
A Gallup poll taken in 1999 asked Americans whether they
would vote for an otherwise well-qualified person who was a woman
(95 per cent would), Roman Catholic (94 per cent would), Jew (92 per
cent), black (92 per cent), Mormon (79 per cent), homosexual (79
per cent) or atheist (49 per cent).
