I used to believe very strongly in God, but not anymore. I'm generally only religious when I am in the manic phase of my bipolar illness anyway. The biggest clue for me that God doesn't actually exist is this: God never thinks, says, or does anything at all except in the minds of religious believers. We understand quite well now how the natural world works, and we have no need to appeal to a god or the supernatural to explain anything. And even if we did say, "God did it!", that really explains nothing. I offer this video for your consideration. It's fifteen years old as of this writing, but it is still excellent.
If you happen to be interested in bipolar disorder and the associated manic religiosity, I wrote a book on the subject several years ago. You can find it here.
