I was like this for while when I started disbelieving in christianity. The conclusion I came to was - we can trace all matter in this universe to one point in time, the big bang, we aren't sure what happened before the big bang, but does that mean god? I don't think not knowing is a reason to believe in any god, let alone one attached to any religion, so my default stand is disbelief.
Do you believe in the christian god? If not, you're a deist :)

Your point makes sense man. Right now I'm definitely leaning more towards atheism/agnosticism than Christianity. And I wouldn't even say its "The Christian God" I believe in, just a general higher power/creator. Something like that :/
So yeah I guess I am a deist by definition, sounds like a weird title to have.
What makes you so sure about the big bang and everything? I'm trying to figure out what the big bang really is so I can understand it and make a decision.

Well I'm pretty sure about it since a lot of what we know about the universe that are facts, wouldn't really make sense without the big bang. I'm no astrophysicist, so I'd just google stuff like "basic explanation of the big bang theory" and "evidence for the big bang"
