Is it wrong to not believe in God?

Asked by LazyMe10 (515points) October 17th, 2015 from iPhone

Hello, I bring this question up today because I’ve had too many people ask me why don’t I go to church like I use to. For as a child I was told to go to church, not asked if I wanted to go. I only enjoyed church because all my friends were their and we had fun. But when it came to the bible I never really read it, only the bible stories of course. An to me as a kid they were only “stories” I never believed they were real. But when I asked the elderly women at my church, “If God created us as it says in the bible stories and the bible, who created Him?” All they told me was not to question it, he is the all powerful, the almighty. (I went to a Baptist Church by the way). So since then I didn’t really believe he was real. An now that I’m an adult, all I think now is that we as human beings make our own paths by the choices we make in life. Not some all mighty powerful being controlling us, that makes me feel like I’m a puppet. Plus the bible has been rewritten millions of times and a lot can be changed so really I honestly don’t trust it and still find them nothing but stories created to teach children life lessons maybe. So, I don’t believe in God is that wrong?
Or is it okay?
I believe we make our own choses and our own fate. No one else conducts it, just us, as ourselves. So is it wrong that I think this way?
Because, I dont think its right to force a religion on your kid if your in that religion, I mean they should have a chose right?
I just want you guys opinion, I guess
