I watched all three videos and often see that people in the comments are mixing believes and religiousness. A church can disappoint someone, but it does not necessarily lead to atheism.
Based on my own experience, I do not accept the church for the following reasons:
1. Every church pretends being right until proven wrong, but who decided that the church is right? God? Then why do we have so many religions, and each one of them says their way to believe is correct? We have a lot of examples when religious doctrine had to be adjusted because of the scientific evidence that proved it wrong, and yet until now the church is trying to dictate what parts of science should be suppressed.
2. Many religious people say "God is Love", you should love everyone around you. Except... and then there is always a condition. Throughout the history religion generated more wars and disaster than any dictator, and all of it was justified.
3. Going back to every church being the only correct one. Why do they have to say that? Because they need more people to come in and pay. It's a business, in some cases a very successful one, and an alternative power that can affect people's minds by talking on behalf of God.
4. I think that any institution can exist if it does not hurt people, and the church does not fit into this category. It hurts those that don't fit into their standards starting from people that belong to a different religion and all the way to gays, transgender, child free, ext.
Saying that, I can't call myself an atheist. I do not believe in Jesus or any other human-like God, but I do believe there is some global logic in the world, and the rest is a terminology. We can call it God, but I will build my relationship with it without a middle man.
