    I am as atheist as it’s possible to be. I’ve never been even slightly religious and there’s no part of me that even vaguely believes in anything religious, supernatural, or superstitious.

    I read The God Delusion and I found it extremely weak and unconvincing

        I haven’t read it, but I don’t find Hitchen’s argumentative style in other venues to be better than Dawkins’

      It’s not exactly a life style choice is it? My experience was that you free yourself from useless crap you don’t need, and that’s it. Trying to persuade other people to follow your path is ultimately not fulfilling as you’re trying to reason someone out of an emotional decision, and it’s not your job to do that.
