From PZ's Place,Cliffman, On Why I Am An Atheist

First, a complete lack of religious experience – I’ve never heard the voices of angels, nor felt the hand of the god upon me. Had a brief time in Sunday school as a child, but the stories never made any sense to me. Had people dear to me die in my presence, never felt any spirits wandering about.
Second, a good education. I’ve always preferred the explanations provided by science.

Third, reading the news, and reading history. I think the existence of the Pope pretty well proves the non-existence of the christian god, at least the biblical version.

And finally, my life is complete and happy without talking sky fairies.

Summary: Brief time in Sunday School; no religious “experience”; no ghosts; Scientism; “news and history”; IF Pope, THEN no Christian God, biblical version. No sky fairies.
