So, why am I an atheist? I suppose for the same reason I don't believe in the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus. Religious stories - whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu, etc - seem to me to be exactly that ...
stories like those told to youngsters about Santa Claus. They don't seem logical or believable. I'm not one who has
faith in anything; I prefer evidence and proof.

Even though I'm an atheist, I consider it of utmost importance to have a system of ethics and values to guide one's life. That's where Ayn Rand's philosophy of
Objectivism comes in.
