I don't buy the woo, regardless of its packaging.

I just don't believe in deities and most religions worship one. The main two are Allah andd god.

Because it is all based on made up bullshit.

I am largely resistant to organization, period.

Not for its own sake--rather because organized systems tend to be institutionally ill-equiped to recognize criticisms, challenges, new ideas, changes, etc. I've got no problem with a system that permits me to modulate my participation, freely question, criticize, do things differently. I find that's rarely the case.

My dislike and distrust of churches began from the 1st time I went to church. For years I believed in the religion but not the churches. Long complicated story, but the congregation were arseholes without exception.

Because each dogmatic religion thinks their way to heaven and GOD is the only way. So they all want to save each other and make sure the are on the correct path to heaven. They bother me much and I say All paths lead to God a,d excuse myself for an important errand.I can remember before I got away from my family and their Southe Babtist evangelistic upbringing, My mother telling me Catholics and Jews were going to HELL. I remember thinking how does she know? She doesn't. NO one does. She will be 88 soon and is not speaking to me.

Yes, to all of the above, BUT the most important consideration for me is that history and science (including geology and archaeology) simply do not support them, so why should I even offer a shred of my support?

Because organized religions are personality driven, much more so than deity controlled. Why is there thousands of Christian sects, why? They are all working out of the same book. Religion is driven by the con men who make up the rules and collect the tolls. From the Popes to Martin Luther, from the TV evangelists to the tent ones, from Shakers to Amish, they are driven by the personalities of their founders and their leaders who follow in their footsteps. This is why I don’t believe in Religion, appart from the fact that the idea of a god defies any logic based in reality. They have less validity than many social clubs.
