The reason I don’t believe in religion is that I find it strange and unconvincing that the foundation of so many faiths rests on the claims of a single person who supposedly had a supernatural encounter. For example, in some religions, the story begins with an ordinary individual who says an angel appeared to them, told them that God is real, and instructed them to write down a divine message. We are then expected to accept that account as truth, often without independent evidence, simply because this person said it happened.
Similarly, in Christianity, a central claim is that a human being was also God a belief that relies heavily on ancient testimonies and religious tradition rather than verifiable proof. In both cases, it comes down to extraordinary claims made by human beings, recorded long ago, and passed down over centuries.
To me, it feels risky to base an entire worldview and moral system on stories that ultimately depend on trusting the words of a few people from ancient history people we cannot question, whose accounts cannot be cross-checked, and whose experiences might have been misunderstood, exaggerated, or even invented. Without stronger evidence, I find it more reasonable to remain skeptical.
Solution:
If God truly wanted every person to believe in His religion without doubt, and to avoid the possibility of ending up in Hell, He could have revealed Himself in a way that left no room for misunderstanding. Instead of delivering His message to just a handful of individuals thousands of years ago, He could have spoken directly to every human being, in a manner so clear and undeniable that no one could mistake it for anything else. Miracles could happen openly and continually, under circumstances where deception or coincidence would be impossible, so that everyone could see for themselves that the supernatural exists.
The message itself could have been perfectly clear and universally understood, without the ambiguities, contradictions, and translation issues that have caused centuries of religious division. Every person, regardless of where or when they were born, could have received the same knowledge and the same opportunity to know Him. And if there was only one true faith, God could have made it so no other religions ever arose to compete with it, eliminating the confusion of having multiple faiths all claiming to be the one and only truth.
Had the world been created in this way, belief in God would be as natural and unavoidable as believing in the existence of the sun. No one could say they were misled, born in the wrong place, or left in doubt. In such a reality, disbelief could only come from deliberate rejection, not from the lack of convincing evidence and the justice of reward or punishment would be far easier to understand.
