When I was in Palestine, all my room-mates from Cambridge were Christians, and because of where I was it didn't seem like a bad opportunity to give the whole God thing another try just in case. I sat around with them at their Bible readings, and discussed it, and my main problem was the lack of evidence for God. I was given instructions that they told me would prove or disprove God's existence: sit with an open mind in a quiet room, and read Luke's Gospel, and ask God to show himself while doing so. I tried this several times, and guess what: nothing happened. The New Testament God loves everyone, and would talk to me if he existed, so he can't exist.

Add that to a wealth of rational arguments, and there's no reason, need, or evidence for a god of any sort. That'll do for me.
