I found this article about this very interesting topic
In recent years scientists specializing in the mind have begun to unravel religion's "DNA." They have produced robust theories, backed by empirical evidence (including "imaging" studies of the brain at work), that support the conclusion that it was humans who created God, not the other way around. And the better we understand the science, the closer we can come to "no heaven … no hell … and no religion too."
Like our physiological DNA, the psychological mechanisms behind faith evolved over the eons through natural selection. They helped our ancestors work effectively in small groups and survive and reproduce, traits developed long before recorded history, from foundations deep in our mammalian, primate and African hunter-gatherer past.
I too, am a non-believer.

It is Organized Religion fooling, abusing, and brain-washing people that I detest.

Quote by Marcus Aurelius: "Live a good life. If there are gods and they are j..."
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

December 17th, 2011 09:57 AM #497If we don't believe, or even partially believe?
It's the same, we will continue what we are, what we do in everyday living up untill we stop living!
But for those who believed, they will continue believing up untill they follow what they believe and continue on living!
