In my experience those people who claim to have no religion turn out to be the most religious people I know.

"I am 72 and spent my whole life examining life. I gave up on religion in my early 20's and never revisited it.... I am sure I will not change my mind."

Statistically I think at your age you are probably unlikely to change your mind, but if you think you learned everything there was to know when you were twenty then you owe it to yourself to have another look.

"I am 72 and spent my whole life examining life. I gave up on religion in my early 20's and never revisited it. I think it is a primitive idea left over from days past when we didn't know much. Nothing more. A myth like unicorns and elves."

Very nicely said. You're a good man.

"Is God dead? Not in academia. As someone who teaches philosophy at Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford, Vince Vitale is well placed to know what the top scholarship says about God. Vince shows how in the fields of philosophy and sociology, God is very much alive. If you think intellectual objections undermine belief in God, Vince suggests that you may be unaware of the arguments at the highest level."
