Or lack thereof. This thread is for people to discuss their religious beliefs (if any) with a healthy amount of detail. If you're Christian, do you believe in Adam, Eve, and original sin? Do you believe your god created the Earth any number of years ago? Did your god "jumpstart" the evolutionary process? What is your god's role in today's society? If you're not Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, what god(s) do you believe exist, and why do you believe as such? Or do you have your own vague belief in a higher power that will remain forever unknown?
Most importantly, why do you believe what you believe? Why is the Christian god more valid than various Greek gods and goddesses? Why do you practice paganism rather than Hinduism? What drives you to hold such beliefs and maintain faith when billions of other people believe in something completely different?
I am atheist because there is no evidence of any deity or supernatural power within our universe. The existence of religion is understandable, given people's natural desire to understand more about their origins. However, as we've learned more about our universe through scientific advancement, religion has become far less fitting in our overall picture of life. Religious belief has appropriately fallen worldwide (

With that said, what do you believe, and why?
