I don't. My religious beliefs are something I came to myself. There is lots of evidence for a very early church, and the core story around Jesus hasn't changed much, unlike other legends that evolve through history. The New Testament is pretty reliable as a historical document and many times atheist critics have been wrong, and their arguments are usually very easy to debunk.

    In short, I evaluated the arguments, then realised that the arguments for Christianity were far better than the arguments against. The main argument for atheism is the standard of proof, but anyone can present them with all of the proof they'd like and they can still say "not enough". There were people around in Jesus' time who still didn't believe yet saw the miracles and His resurrection
