I don't believe in God because the stories in all religion are ridiculously flawed, facing current knowledge we have evolved into with science!

Good! Welcome to the forum.
Yes, all the god stories I find I can only call myths, at best. I can not conclude from that there is no god. My best conclusion I can come to is that man does not know god if there is one.
Might there be one? A matter of definition. Science doesn't have a good story on where the universe came from. What is consciousness? How do we get life from lifelessness? a God-of-the-gaps philosophy puts god in as the answer here but this supports no religion I can find. God of science perhaps? What we find in the sciences is the hand of god at work in the world. We find a system as opposed to random events with no cause and effect (magic).
I can't use the word "belief" in reference to this thought because I can't think of it as actually true, just a possibility however unlikely.

For myself as well, I may call hem myth too, carried on from generation to the other. Asian cultures have myths as well, but I rather go for what happens now and what will happened tomorrow and be quite alert and ready to fight off dangerous events due to fanatic religious beliefs.
