Any humanistic jews here on yahoo answers?

i consider my self a humanistic jew meaning that i emphasizes jewish culture and history - rather than belief in God - as the sources of Jewish identity. in fact i consider myself an atheist and attend sabbath service very week. i'm also very observate. i was just wonder if the was any one else like me here.

my disbelief in god comes from what i believe my being brought up jewish. growing up i was taught to question every thing. i guess i'm really agnostic. so i really question if there is a god. i don't see how the belief in a higher being would make me a better person.

also, i was brought up in the reformed movement where things are little more laxed than in the orthordox tradition. i was always told that i jew wouldn't be a jew without other jews. so i really base my jewishness not on the god of israel, but the people of israel.

i also beleive that judaism is not a religion. to me religion is dogmatic. i would say its a way of life. away to sanctify time and celebrate life, justice, and good.

i should also add that "god" to me is the highest good that man has yet to actualize. some thing we should all strive to be like.

I am still trying to figure out what type of Jew I am.
I talk to a orthodox rabbi about several Jewish topics and ideas. Believing in G-d is a hard thing to do but that is part of being Jewish in my mind. I guess with out G-d (as this rabbi puts it) being Jewish becomes a culture. I am not sure if I totally believe this but...It's my decision.
What sparked your disbelief in G-d or have you never really believed in a certain higher being?
