All anecdote? Cool beliefs bro. Must be wicked useful.

Even back when I proclaimed to be an atheist, some part of me deep down still knew there was a God. I think a lot of atheists only pretend to be atheists as a sort of rebellion against religious doctrine, and in at least some cases, their human ego refuses to allow their existence to be controlled or defined by the concept of God.

You were never an atheist if you knew deep down there was a god. Stop lying. People hate lying.

I think the concept of God itself is different and personal for every individual. For me, God is nature, and everything that exists in nature. It is the universe that all things exist in, and without it, nothing exists. That's the simplest way I know to describe it.

Sounds like Spinoza's god. I guess you COULD say that existence is in itself, god, but the word "existence" defines the phenomena of the real sufficiently without having to wax poetic with lofty nouns such as "god".
