There is no god. No amount of looking for it would be enough. I was already doubtful beforehand. Having grown up conservatively, I kind of already knew it was all fake, but the deprogramming took a while.

I've always said in 99% sure there is no God. Or if there is he doesn't care about us.

However I'm 100% sure that every religion is full of shit and made up.

I call myself agnostic atheist but it's really gnostic when it's anything theistic humanity has come up with thus far. I say this so when I'm talking to a Christian I can make it clear I have no doubts at all when it comes to anything Abrahamic being obviously bullshit.

Deist idk. The universe is pretty fucking weird.

I wasn't doubtful, unfortunately. I went in a true-believer, expecting to get a Religious-Studies degree. But I left early as an Atheist. I'm glad that I did, but fundamentally shifting my life like that really messed me up. Deprogramming myself was the hardest, but best decision that I ever made.
