Reasons why I don\'t believe:
Here are my 3 biggest reasons
1/ I can not accept the idea of a perfectly wise and benevolent god that would ask me to bow down in front of him. Any god that asks me to worship him loses all credibility.
2/ Why would god want to test us? doesn\'t he know the past and future of each person? He does, therefore he does know whether I\'m going to hell or not
3/ God says himself throughout the Quran that he\'s the one who leads the disbelievers astray. Well therefore, it\'s not my fault I don\'t believe in him, it\'s his own fault. He DOES want to send us to hell, simply cause he\'s evil, crazy, egotistic, narcissistic, and unfair.

My background:
I\'ve never really been a die-hard muslim. I grew up in France, and my parents are not religious at all. They never forced me to believe, and never really taught me anything about Islam.
When we came back in Algeria, I used to believe in Islam. I was just a kid however and I didn\'t really know anything about it.
Then I grew up and it\'s quite simply that the more I knew about Islam the less I wanted to adhere to that sick movement.
It didn\'t happen over-night, and somehow I\'m not really an \"ex\" muslim cause you would say I\'ve never been one. There was a period in which I used to pray, but it didn\'t last long cause I was too lazy to do that 5 times a day.
One day I recited ayat el koursi, a verse from surat el baqara, meant to help you have a nice day. And it turned out that day was a shitty day and I got mad at some point. And I was dropping some F bombs against everything in existence, and one of those F bombs was a big \"Fuck God... And the Devil too\"
Then a few months later I read a translation of the Quran. It didn\'t help. I got bored before I got past surat el baqara. It\'s not like I was disappointed, but nothing in the book was appealing to my mind, and I found all the \"God is most benevolent\" \"God is merciful\" \"Fear Allah\" to be quite pitiful: If you were an all powerful all knowing God, you wouldn\'t have to boast about it all day long, you would write an actually decent text that would definitely demonstrate it. The Quran isn\'t such a text

So here I am now. The reason I\'m joining in is, I want to be involved with a community of people who share the same views as me about Islam. I have a lot of friends who don\'t believe in Islam too, but still somehow I feel alone, like an outcast. And I\'ve got another reason too: I noticed there was no people from Algeria on this forum. So here I am.
