I used to believe in god as a child/early adolescent, but now I don't and it's been completely liberating.
Now I think that anything anyone does is based on their natural selfish instincts - including seemingly selfless acts.
Realising this has given me a whole new invigorating perspective on life and helped me grow in confidence in myself.
I no longer see morality as what I'm being told to do - or not to do - by a god.
Instead selfishness is the rule and people are shaped by their nature and nurture and kept in check by the systems of control, such as the laws of their society.
