I think it's mainly due to a lack of understanding. When you have a better understanding about what "God" is, it's pretty much impossible not to believe. Believing in solely the Judeo-Christian God, the Arabic God, the Muslim God, etc., is foolish since God, as a whole, is not restricted to what we believe. It is all based around understanding, and if you haven't done the research or had the required experiences, it can be pretty hard to believe in God, restricted or otherwise, outside of programmed brainwashing. My own personal life experiences combined with my knowledge gained from researching makes my belief in God absolute, but I do comprehend the Atheistic perspective.

Funny how when a woman has the morals of a man, she is slut. I think it is your antiquated morals that are the problem.
And to refute your claim, crime is at a 60 year low in the US.
Here here!
A man that "dates" a few woman, non exclusively, is a player. A woman that "dates" more than one man is less moral than her male counterpart, and called a slut.

Like the possiblity that God is telling you to cut off the heads of your chilldren?
So what good is an ignorant fence sitter? Maybe some day youll give a speech about how the genital mutilation of little girls MIGHT be a good thing?

Really? I don't know, I watch mainstream stuff, like Law and Order, The Closer, Modern Family, Criminal Minds,etc. Could you point out some shows that make a mockery of Jesus and God? I just haven't seen them.
I do see a whole lot of sexuality in these new shows, like 2 Broke Girls. The dialog in that show is outrageous for prime time preteen TV!

Frankly, I am baffled when I encounter an otherwise, seemingly intelligent young person that still believes...
by young I mean 18-30 ish......as an impressionable child, I understand...but as I free thinking young adult - to adult in todays society, with thier eyes open....I find no excuse for buying any of it.

Here's one. I don't spend time watching modern shows because the very sound is toxic to my soul. I would suggest family guy or any seth mcfarland offerings, for standard ridicule of Jesus. Or, just listen to the preachers. They tear it up as good as anyone.

Anyone else notice how with the decline of Christianity/Catholicism in the West, our moral and family values have also declined...
