It depends on your point of view, and in mine absolutely not.
I personally believe it's wrong to base your entire existence off of a book that is so contradictory, and not require any solid proof what-so-ever.
The title says it all.
First of all, I would like to say thank you to anyone who willingly wasting their time by reading this first thread made by me. Whether it be a theist or an atheist, you are free to respond to this in your own ways & belief.
I, myself is an agnostic person but sometimes I do believe in certains miracle to happen which is cause by something beyond human capabilities that is considered to be God's supernatural intervention.
I had made a choice to not believe in few things about religion after educating myself about the Creationism & Evolutionism. Till then, I developed my own thinking & criticisms towards religious people.
So how is it to you guys out there? Feel free to leave a reply.

Used to refer to Bible & Quran once to prove myself about existence of human being which came out to be the same for both religion since it stated that Adam & Eve is the first human to ever lived in planet Earth. I don't know why after a few years pass by, I kinda feel stupid about this religious stuffs & began to not believing in it.

Sure, why not.
I'm not Xaviar, you can ask Dave for an ip-check.
Yea, I felt the same way as a kid. I thought that we have to have a reason to be alive, but once you start questioning and realizing the "answers" these religious people give you make no sense you start to stray away from religious beliefs.
Well then, maybe it is time for other people to think that way. Indeed, that the reason why everyone (not all) who changed their beliefs in religion is because when they start questioning on why they are existing here.
Religious people became one of the main factor why Atheism exist. It is because, religous people always came out with something that doesn't even makes any sense at all about a things in their religion teaching

Its a common misconception.... most kids in the USA have Christianity brought upon them and its Naturally the thing you must believe in... but if you honestly take a look at the bible or the beliefs of Christians its all trust based.... and trust based is good and all but, when its the fact that if you don't believe you will burn in a deathly place for all eternity I mean the bible portrays god as a great being of courage and forgiveness, then why if someone doesn't believe they spend a eternity in hell.... What about all the starving Africans and raped 12 year old girls in the slave trade in china... where is god there... how come people all across the USA have money to buy 3.4 million dollar cars an people all across the world cant afford a house or food, where is your god there...? Another thing, most people don't even know the story of Lucifer or the devil basically he was one of the most powerful archangels along with Gabriel, Michael, Israfil and Azrael. (also Metatron [not the transformer] is a jewish archangel) The archangel Lucifer (Lucifer translates to Morning Star) loved God more than anything, and when god made Jesus Christ the son of god, Lucifer was jealous of the son of god, and just wanted god to love the angels. When god told Lucifer to love a mortal as Jesus Christ as much as Lucifer loved god Lucifer lashed out, and as only Lucifer was trying to please god , he was cast to a eternity in hell (gods wrath) and just because he wanted to love god. Also most churches don't want you to believe in the story of god but to make you scared enough of hell to make you believe in Christianity. I am a agnostic myself, I do believe there is a higher power rather there is a god or multiple advanced being in a different universe. I don't know I am just chilling in earth waiting to find out.
Sorry for the sermon I just felt like sharing my thoughts.

Personally, I think religion is a set of rules created by people who wanted more control and ended up becoming a big thing to explain things that don't make sense (that's just my personal opinion, no hate please) but it is by no means wrong to not believe, its a personal choice that affects nobody else, as long as you don't rub peoples face in it like many religious peoples do.
tl;dr for the lazy
If you don't believe, don't rub peoples nose in it. it's only wrong when you do that.
Okay, Since you seem unhappy with my Personal opinion/Experience on the topic
I said it is okay to not believe as long as you don't rub peoples nose in it, if you don't believe and you don't talk about it does it truly affect anyone? Unless someone acts differently towards a person of a religious belief (shunning, disrespecting, trying to convert them to atheism/agnostic) in my Personal Experience with many people I know that do not believe (I don't believe in anything myself) they keep it to themselves and don't try to convert anyone, it's a personal choice. If you thought I was talking about Religious people not trying to convert/rub peoples nose into it, oh hell no, they rub that shit in everyone's face and state everything can be proved by "The Bible"
Religion is like a penis, it's ok if you have one, it's also ok if you don't, but it's not ok if you try to push your penis (or lack of one) down someone else throat
I don't feel being an athiest can be bad in any way if you do not interrupt other people or change people's view, religion should be kept to itself, not forced onto people.
All gods that are widely worshiped are atheists, and most viewed as loving forgiving beings, so I'm sure if they're real they will understand why I'm an athiest.
