I'd like to jump in this thread to voice my opinion that there's not only no empirical (that is a key word) reason to believe in anything supernatural, there is also no empirical reason not to. We all have our own reasons for what we believe, whether it's church brainwashing, lights in the sky, personal reflection, or whatever

You can't have an empirical reason not to believe something, its like proving that something doesn't exist. Unless you prove something that is mutually exclusive, which can't be done in the case of God. But if there is no empirical reason for Him to exist, then logically it can only be assumed that He does not exist. Of course, you can have your reasons for believing such things, as you said.
