Do you believe in god, if not do you believe in something else?

No, and no. Faith is irrational, and religion is an artifact of human culture and evolution (for an great explanation of this, read Richard Dawkins' 'The God Delusion' - despite the name it is a very reasoned and informative book).

I think it is very sad that atheism isn't accepted in the US though - since it is not a religion, it doesn't require any beliefs or practices that people could object to, so why the hate?

@draik: I'm glad somebody knows how physics works...

I would not recommend The God Delusion. It offers nothing new in this debate. If you have heard the arguments for why God does and does not exist, then there is no point in reading his book. This whole debate on whether or not God exists will never find a resolution. At best, no one knows.
