Is it merely Your "hobby"? Is it because you beleive you'll go to hell if you dont? does it fill the void in your life?
Mr Hunt, you are correct in your last sentence. Have you ever heard of the "God Spot"? Scientists have found a (actually several) location(s) in the brain, which creates the need for belief and controls religious experiences. We all, religionists and atheists alike, have a God sized hole in our mind. Religionists are those who succumb to their instincts and try to fill the hole. Us atheists resist our desires and have a more logical view on life. I don't know why it is there, but I suspect it is to unite communities through belief. What we must keep in mind is that it evolved, and it isn't, as some people claim, the proof that God exists. After all, if we followed our instincts all the time, we would go around having sex with anything that moved, and so on. Hope that answers your question.
