I am prepared to answer that I would be an atheist, because I have examined all other religions and found them to be so inconsistent as to be un-followable.
| I know this is off topic and a little pedantic (forgive me - I am just ahving a little fun), but in what sense is atheism consistent? At one time in history there was no Christianity. My guess is that we would affirm (along with Paul and Jesus) that Judiaism had something going for it prior to Christianity coming on the seen. Wouldn't being a Jew be better than being an atheist? Also, have you really examined all other religions? I have not.  Plus, even if there is no Christianity, all of reality declares the existence of God. As such, atheism is stupid.
I will now go and duck.

P.S. God loves the world. | If there were no Christianity, I might have to be an Arminian. Or was that an Animist? Oh, nevermind. The point is moot.
