No, I don't believe in god. I used to, but that was simply because I was brought up in an environment that demanded it. If you are taught from birth that something is true, you believe it to be true. As I've grown older, more independent, and taken the time to absorb the information at my disposal, I've abandoned any sort of religious beliefs. There's simply no good reason to believe in a god like being. And I'm content with that. The prospect of such a being, given the things we know about our world, and the universe we inhabit, would actually be a rather unpleasant thought. This god would very clearly be either a mad scientist, tinkering with forces it is still trying to fully comprehend, or a complete tyrant. Neither possibility is particularly appealing.
That said, if others derive some sense of peace from a belief in god, and their belief is a positive force in their life then good for them. I know this to be the case for most of my greater family, as well as many of my friends. I don't particularly care for the fact these beliefs were pushed on me as a child, and would prefer society as a whole abstained from impregnating their religious beliefs upon children, but whatever values and beliefs you keep for yourself are your business.
