I'm fourteen and an athiest. This year my entire world studies class has been based off religion. The more we learn, the more and more disbelieving I get. Please don't lecture about how I'm too young too make decisions on religion or anything, please just answer the question and give me reasons I would understand.

I started not believing in a god right before my 17th birthday. Your not too young to make a decision on religion. Just keep an open mind. Anyway, I don't believe in God for many different reasons. I've been reading books on both sides of the debate for 10 months now, and the arguments for God are fallacious, and the evidence for God is shaky and unreliable. I don't see any valid evidence for the existence of God. I recommend reading up on the subject yourself, if you haven't already.

It's really quite simple. I don't believe in any gods because there is no reliable evidence for their existence. There is no difference between the Greek myths, Norse myths, or Grimm's fairy tales and any modern-day religion. They are just stories, not fact.

Well, I'll answer this simply with a question:

 

Why do you not believe in Santa Claus?

It was because of lack of evidence. books that compiles all the hearsay about a divine being is not an evidence either.
