It's hard to put a precise number on a vague question which conflates gods and order. There are over 4000 known belief systems on the planet but no empirical evidence of a godlike entity. There is still no definitive answer to the origin of the universe. But there are known universal scientific laws which stand as evidence of order. Therefore I put 99% on my site question because that number was the best way to say i am nearly convinced there are no gods but I won't be positive until we factually know the origin of the universe.

I don't believe there's an order to the universe, at least one that's within our comprehension. But I also don't believe it's a god or other-worldly spirit that's controlling anything; I simply believe life is too mysterious and stupendous for us to know.

About 50/50, and that supports an adventursome outlook on life (and death). But I seriously doubt that the creeds of any particular religion are true.

Finding. God.

After I became convinced that God exists, I immediately set out on a quest to find Him . But it took about 4 1/2 years for the quest to be realized . I understand now that the reason it took so long was because of one thing . That one thing is called sin . Sin is the thing that will keep us from really coming to know God . Therefore sin must be renounced and we have to submit to the. sovereignty of God in our lives . It was the willfulness on my part to find God on my own terms without totally renouncing sin that caused it to take so long . I repented if I commited a sin but due to the power that sin has on our psyche. and our spirit we need the redeeming power of God.to free us from the stronghold that it has on us . So I had to go through a process and it's a process that really works . It involves repentence ,submission to the will of God and accepting the sacrifice that He made for us because He loves us (John 3:16) and wants the best for us according to the Holy Scriptures . I'll just finish with this famous saying from the Master : "Whom the Son sets free is free indeed "

I am definitely convinced, but it's not an important issue to me in and of itself. it wouldn't even be something i thought about were it not for religionists acting so very aggressively, especially in politics, and were it not for my being challenged all the time over it. it sure seems to rile people up to think i live my life without bowing to some invisible entity in which they fervently believe. their fervor stokes mine, but not in the sense that i will become more atheistic. i mean, there is no such thing as "more atheistic." either i believe or i don't. i don't. that's all. i don't have an atheist's outfit, or sing atheist songs, or go to atheist meetings (unless this counts!) or think about it that much except in the context of sites like this, to which i belong BECAUSE of that challenge, and BECAUSE of religious aggression. otherwise... i just live my life, ya know?
