Why Am I an Atheist?

I am an atheist, but my atheism does not prevent me from respecting those who believe in God—those who consider their faith a personal matter, who do not seek to impose it on others, and who accept it as part of their private domain. I am an atheist, but I have my own belief—I do not believe in any god other than humanity. I am an atheist, but I believe in humans.

The only god worthy of declaring itself divine, in my opinion, is not one that merely designed the world but one that continues to nurture, protect, and improve it—one that strives to make it better. The topic is vast, but I just want to say one thing, something I constantly repeat to myself:

“If God truly exists, I will fight him with all my strength and refuse to submit to him, for he does not deserve it—until he proves otherwise.”

I am the god of myself, and everyone is the god of themselves. No one is the master of another. A god who demands my belief simply does not deserve to be a god, and that alone is a sufficient reason for me to reject him. A god who makes me depend on him, who forces me to surrender to his will, who weakens my abilities and potential, making me a helpless servant, waiting for the unknown—such a god must be resisted and defeated.

Because such a god could only be a malevolent god.

The concept of God itself does not trouble me, but I fiercely oppose everything that is illogical, a mere human invention of fantasies and dreams, something that ultimately is just an ancestral illusion—one that has now become a real human nightmare, delaying us in every possible way. And what are religions, if not a tapestry of fabrications? Even if God exists, religions would still be the invention of the devil, for they are neither divine nor even human.

Thus, I am an atheist by the force of reason, which states:

If God exists but cannot make this world a better place, then he does not deserve to be a god.
If God exists but does not want to make this world a better place, then he does not deserve to be a god.
If God exists but does not know how to make this world a better place, then he does not deserve to be a god.
If God exists but has valid excuses for doing nothing, then a single tear from a suffering human is enough to reject all his excuses, and therefore, he does not deserve to be God.
