I don't know if there's a God, and I'm not going to waste any more time searching. I'll never know. God is one life's great mysteries that we can revisit from time to time, but there's no need to obsess about it.
Is there a man in the sky that knows what we're doing, and is all-powerful? It seems unlikely, given my brain's inability to understand the vastness of regions as small as my own city. How then, can I understand something universal, something that's far bigger than all of human knowledge, combined?
Am I a Christian? No. I don't believe in the divinity of Jesus. Great guy though.
Am I an atheist? No. I can't know with absolute certainty that there is no God.
So, as life changes, so do I. I'm not the only one who has gone through an atheist phase, nor will I be the last. I'm not angry at Christianity like I used to be. It's part of my heritage. I need to embrace it, rather than gnash my teeth at it.
PS-I'm still not a Christian.
