Atheist Aspies

I don't believe in god but I don't mind those who do.
As long as they don't hurt or bother others everything is fine.

I am an atheist aspie too, but I was Jewish and Catholic before.

I was raised by exceedingly conservative Christians and tried through college to conform, and to believe. However, certain ideological differences drove me away, hard. Now I simply accept that all life is connected via varying degrees of shared genes and interdependence for survival. Sort of a, "life on earth is essentially one giant organism" philosophy. I found the idea of a greater deity to be a human invention the more I studied, and far too often it has been used as a method of control over others and gathering personal wealth of some form. I also discovered critical thinking/formal argument as taught by some true old-school profs in college and found most religions lacking in applied ethics.

My parents are Roman Catholics, as is my entire family, but I am atheist because Christianity is excessively hard to understand

I am not an atheist; I just hate religion.

More of an agnostic atheist.

I'm an atheist as well

I am also an Atheist Aspie, although I was raised a Chistian.

I used to be an atheist but I transitioned entirely to agnostic.
As a species, we are not technologically advanced enough to know for sure

I'm fairly certain I'm an atheist, but I like the idea of reincarnation, so it's sorta a combo of that.

I am in the minority here because I am a Christian, specifically Episcopalian

I don't believe in all this religion crap, I'm in control of my life, not some big magic guy that lives in the clouds.

*raises hand*

I don't believe in any religions. I think they're man/woman made fiction by those in the past, that were afraid of their own mortality.

I am however, open to the idea that our reality could be a simulation. If humans are someday able to create genuine artificial intelligence that can rival our own, I think it then becomes likely that we also were created.

I also don't believe in god, at least how they teach it in my family's religion. I believe that everything had to start somewhere, but have no idea where or where the thing that started everything came from. Though I don't hold belief in a religion against other people, just personal beliefs. However, I do have a problem if that belief is forced on others, if people are treating others differently because of their religion, or if people are harming others because of it.
