When I see televangelists hijack the airwaves on Sunday morning, I am left wondering how one god can be the only true god. It amazes me that so many faithful can simply discount the gods of other faiths. Faith can be a beautiful way to show support for one's chosen religion, butut can not be used as a crutch when defending said religion.
How could any loving god choose one group of faithful and condemn all others, especially considering that nearly all aspects of religion require faith, mostly due to a lack of tangible evidence. Written accounts are hardly more proof of act than spoken tales and myth.
"I contend that we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen F Roberts

Being agnostic or atheist simply levels the field and gives an opportunity for an unbiased opportunity to observe religion without discounting any as less possible than others.
