Atheism
A few days ago I became a proper atheist.
Up until then, I knew that I didn't believe in any of the world's religions and that I didn't believe in a benevolent God, but I accepted the potential of a Creator. Camus' argument about God being unable to give meaning to the world has finally convinced me; though I'd considered the argument before, he phrased it so well that it's hard to argue with. If God is used to explain the world, He must be exterior to it; if he is exterior, something else is needed to explain His existence.
So... I feel more or less exactly the same, but there you go. Only a small change really, but noteworthy.
