So you base your belief system on what's cool?

When I was a Christian I felt sorry for atheists going to hell and stuff. Always thought they must have experienced some kind of trauma.
I turned atheist for 'psychological freedom' or whatever, but I also turned super argumentative and kind of insensitive towards people who probably didn't deserve it.
Kind of difficult all this stuff if you just want to be an individual.

Very similar to my story. I spent a good amount of years bitter about my upbringing and resentful of religion in general. It wasn't long after finding psychedelics that my attitude shifted.
I also had an unusually unpleasant experience being sent away to a Christian work camp for bad kids and basically lost my youth to being brainwashed and shit so I would ssy I did endure some trama from that.

Yeah. Currently I think there are some cool shit going on behind the scenes, or some kind of force of nature, that is somewhat 'magical'. But I doubt it would be an 'ego' entity who punishes people for not believing in him/her.
It makes logical sense being a 'good person' though, since we are all living together. 
Hope you figure this one out Newbie.

I really only bring it up if asked anymore. Someone being religious is not a deal breaker, only if they're forcing it on me or making me change my lifestyle is what would constitute an issue.

It’s also possible that there is a Christian God and through lessons we see displayed on earth on how unchecked power eventually ends up, we come to understand that God is a fuckin’ prick.

It's also possible that god is a 13 year old kid who spun up a copy of the new Sims game in his universe. I'm becoming ever more inclined to believe this shit in one form or another.

Both sound accurate.

Sometimes you meet a chick on the bus, you get married, live happily every after, have 7 kids, and then get divorced on your wedding day. Sometimes taking the chance is worth the ride, just don't put your head under guillotine blade and expect a great outcome.

Honestly I'm excited to be back on the scene. I'm actually having fun, and my employees have been telling me I'm like a totally different person; walking straighter, head up, smiling more... Fuckin feels good, man.

Atheism is specifically a lack of belief in a deity. It doesn't describe belief in anything.
It's the belief in the lack of a deity, most people who identify as atheist are actually agnostic atheists, they will admit they don't know if there is a god or not, but they feel that lack of a god is the most reasonable assumption.
