Give reasons why you don’t believe in god, what are the main factors that made you stop believing?

Or why do you believe in god not just because the bible says so actual research that point to Intelligent Design.

I have recently stopped believing in god after reading through the Bible and then checking the Historical information around that time

Ex: Trade Movement Technology available

Most of the bible was disproved or made unlikely by this.

I also believe if there was one god he would have created a perfect species that can cope with its environment without having to clash with it, and would have spread his religion to all people.

That actually isn't true. Most of the Bible is taken as historically accurate (with the exception of the miracles).

Point: if God had made us perfect, there would have been no reason for us to come down to Earth in the first place.

I believe because i was brainwashed for 9 years in a catholic school.

Huzzah!

My beliefs have no foundation other than introspection.

I am convinced there is no God.

I don't believe in anything supernatural. However, I believe that the mind can manifest visions of supernatural (ghosts) in the right setting for the mind is a powerful thing.

I believe people thought up of a god/gods because they believed that they were not the highest entity or group of entities in life, and that a god/gods can solve a lot of currently (now, or at the time) unexplained things.

The idea of an omnipotent entity who started and rules over everything is absurd to me, and that the study of how our world started should be as important as Seinfeld trivia; it's a frivolous matter, and doesn't pertain to much.

Edit: There is little if any tangible evidence that proves that God exists. I know he's supposed to be an abstract concept, but that's a little too abstract, to the point where it's literally unbelievable.

Thre is no tangible evidence that suggests there is a god.
