The murdering. there's a lot of it.Was it the talking snakes or the man who survived inside of a whale.
Obviously the new testament is talking about a different deity

Good point.
Do you think a nikka like me existing is all by random chance? Slap yourself. Somebody had to create this shyt. You might have created yourself. shyt gets deep. I’m just out here tryna be great. But I have a spiritual connection with the source. I’m plugged in. I been in tune with the universe before nikkas was doing shrooms. On God. I just still don’t understand existence. And I really don’t give a fukk.
Probably being an annoying fukk asking a lot of questions as kid only to receive answers that didn't make sense to me at the time. I come from Jehovah's Witnesses so religion was a lot more serious than what most go through, I still hang around the Kingdom Hall because it's predominantly black people and besides the religion thing, they are pretty reasonable and well educated, one of the guys there used to work for NASA. Even to this day they are still doing meetings from home due to COVID and they immediately took it serious at the start, I was happy for that, for my mother's safety. But anyways, watching debates at a young age on youtube really solidified it for me, one side was usually on their back foot more often. I didn't get around to reading the bible until a two years ago, and yeah, that was pretty bad.
But I wouldn't call myself an atheist unless I'm debating for the fun of it, I'm an agnostic on the position mainly because I don't believe anything either human or entity is capable of answering origin due to their limiting subjective experience. If you die and go to heaven, you can't know for sure if that is really heaven, a simulation, you dreaming, or if it's designed by a god under another god that simply gave it reign of a specific sector. And it's the same for the entity, the entity could never know its origin and whether or not there was a god before it. It's an impossibility to know origin for those with a subjective experience. So why bother with it?

Hoop Heaven, a basketball camp NY when I was around 10. It was the first time I heard the "an ape can't give give birth to human" argument. I didn't know much about evolution but I was sure no one had ever said that silly shyt. By that point, I read most of the bible and saw it as a book filled with life lessons and silly shyt adults didn't talk about. Like Greek myths. And no one had straight answers to questions I always asked about the bible material...So I started looking up what evolution is after camp was done. That was a painful week....I won the 3v3 tournament but them counselors turned me off of religion and basketball 
But it made a hood rat fall in love with nature though
I wouldn't call myself an Atheist now however.

I'm not an atheist but as soon as I figured out Santa Claus was fake (around 6 or 7 years old) I kinda put all religion in the same category and became agnostic. Didn't put that out for a long time cause I seen how Haitian families treat secular folk 
Mom thought I was a Christian till my late teens after I told her I was tired of that Church shyt and just wanted to sleep in on Sunday/Saturday mornings (had a moment when we had to convert to Seventh Day Adventists 
)

Anthropology
Made the concept of Adam and Eve's original sin obsolete
Which means Jesus died for nothing even if he did exist
Actually Anthropology didn't make me an atheist it just made me an ex christian. The concept of a creator is an interesting placeholder for our current gap in knowledge so technically I'm agnostic to the concept of a creator and atheist to the idea of traditional religions.
With that said Eastern Philosophy and Buddhism is probably the best thing for a human beings mental health next to professional psychology help like therapy or medication and it usually doesn't contradict science and reality the way the 3 Abrahamic faiths do
