Linkadge,
Did you have a bad experience with religion in the past? I sense some intense bitterness with what you said. I don't mean that in a bad way, but is something eating away at you?
My mother went to a Catholic school. She has such a bitterness about religion, but it's because other things in her life manifest as anger toward the religion. I don't mean in any way that someone who is non religious is bitter at religion as opposed to not believing it, but wondering if it has something to do with some things you said. Maybe I'm totally off.
BTW-people can believe in God outside of a "being" or entity that makes decisions.
This is a really, really cool site. Take this short test:

I'm spiritual rather than religious, and my top 2 'religions' came out to be Quaker and Universalism and Buddhist. It's a cool experiment-give it a try. :) Linkadge, you might actually like the concept of Universalism, if i remember the name correctly.
