This is actually what eventually changed my opinion on the subject.

Based on my own observations, contrasting the time when I was actively 
going to church & obeying every little rule, with the time when I pretty 
much didn't give a f*ck, I didn't really notice any difference in my life.

Which means one of four things:
1) God doesn't exist,
2) God exists, but doesn't care about us,
3) God exists, cares about us, and doesn't intervene in our lives.
4) God exists, cares about us, and intervenes in other peoples' lives, 
but not mine.

Of those options, the first is the most attractive.  The other options 
all imply a God who is at best negligent.
