I believe in the existence of a God. I don't believe in Satan or a Hell.
I don't think God has any desire to intervene in our lives. I think he wants us to succeed on our own. As such, I also don't pray. I can succeed on my own merits and hard work.
I do think there's more to our physical world than we perceive most of the time, and that some rituals might open you up to that world. Do I think these rituals are 'sinful' or wrong? No, of course not.
Over all, I think all religions lead to a one God, monotheistic, polytheistic, or otherwise. I also don't believe that God 'punishes' athiests. We all go our seperate path through life. If God didn't want people to be Athiests he wouldn't have allowed them to.
