You used the word believe. Believing someone means trusting this person while not knowing.
No matter which religion or god you refer to, it's all something that was passed down among countless people and in many cases heavily diluted with other religious aspects or holidays(take christianity for example..."Easter" was a pagan fertility festival for the goddess Eostre, with her symbols being a rabbit(for it's fertility) and an egg(for the origin of life)...sound familiar?)
What i am trying to say is: Either you find, for yourself, a knowledge of god, and are "AWARE" of "it's" existance, know there is one(or more), and don't need to believe, because you _KNOW_.
Or you're like me, and find that nothing rings a bell for you, stuff doesn't add up, no one sounds right, and you just pick out a few good pieces of advice across several religions, but consider yourself the opposite, commonly referred to as "non-believers", although i, for me, also _KNOW_.
Truth, in cases that can't be proven scientifically, is very subjective. Make sure you KNOW, either way, and don't just "believe".
