I was raised kind of agnostic: My mother is a bit religious while my dad isn't. They decided I should choose for my self when I'm old enough. My Dad always had a big interest in ancient culture and archeology what is quite fascinating when you are young. This lead to the fact that I read Ancient Greek stories quite early. Their polytheistic views are quite entertaining and made my ask how they came up with them. Turns out they are largely inspired by even older cultures like ancient Egypt's culture and religion(s). From there on I started to realize that religions developed over time and often have a lot in common. You can see how older religions inspired and influenced younger ones. Given this realization it seems to be more rational to assume that every religion is something that was developed by humans over time. So how can one of them be true while other are not? I read quite a lot of religious texts from different epochs and I learned a lot of good moral ideas by doing so. I could never believe in one (or two or many) gods though because it doesn't add up. Further I regard many institutionalizations of religions harmful and as a body of control that we should get rid of. The only place for religion in modern society should by to transport good values by using great stories that's it. Nevertheless I'm not an atheist in the redditors sense who has to tell everyone how stupid religions are. My girlfriend is catholic and I have the deepest respect for that. It's not my business what she believes in as long as she accepts that I think different. TL;DR: Religions developed over time, you can always find a predeceasing religion that influenced a modern one - therefore it's unlogical that any modern religion is not man made an thereby false. Also: respect other's opinion!
