I used to, because I was brought up that way, and lived out my belief in a very concrete way by working for a time as a cross-cultural missionary. But I don't believe in God anymore, having at length reexamined the rationales I thought I had sufficiently examined while an undergraduate for either believing in God or not. (There is, of course, also the issue of WHAT to believe about God, as not all self-described believers in God believe in the same thing.) I have still have immense respect for persons who act out their beliefs at personal cost, but now I advise everyone in general to test their beliefs on all subjects against reality. Many of the online sources I read regularly to find interesting, thought-provoking articles for HN come from sites that have the point of view that people ought to spend more effort and care on examining their beliefs for truthfulness.

As should be apparent, I was responding to the original title of the thread. But the reply would still be, what is the evidence for thinking this?
