These Questions of Mine.

Image from: Google

So recently, I'm being bothered by all these delicate yet simple questions. Yeah you may call me naive having been asked such fundamental questions. However I'll ask you anyways as I am too curious. The questions goes as follows:

Those who regard themselves as 'Atheist’, on what basis did you choose your path? Is it because you have experienced the nonexistence of deities or is it because you have read a plethora of atheistic books and articles, and now you would rather echo with their point of views? If you have experienced it by yourself,by which it is implied that you have strong logic behind your choice, I would be elated to know about it.

OR

Those who regard themselves as 'Theists'/'Polytheists' or in simpler words, those who believe in the existence of a supernatural being. On what basis did you choose your path, is it because you have experienced the existence of deity/deities or is it because it passed down to you from your parents or guardians or is it because you have read in your favorite book(s) and you're afraid that if you do not echo with them, then it might be an impudence? If you have had the experience for yourself, I would be elated to know about it. (Point to be noted: There should be no religious bias in your answers)

OR

Those who consider themselves to be neither, what is the reason behind your dilemma? Is it because you've neither experienced the existence nor nonexistence of deity/deities or because you are absolutely apathetic about the subject? By which I mean you think it is of no use to even ponder on the existence of a supernatural being.

While having asked you these questions, I won't do the disregard of not sharing my perspective, so here's mine: I have indeed no reason for not believing in such existence and I have no reason also to believe in such nonexistence (facing a juxtaposition of logics currently) which leaves me in a void, which in itself is vapid no doubt. Now, I'm sitting on the fine line between dualities, which leaves me with equal probabilities of accepting both views (Hence there's no belief here nor bias).

However, my perspective should affect yours in no way.

I'm looking forward to your amazing answers and do not worry, all your divergent perspectives are equally welcomed.
