Is reason a good enough basis for belief/non-belief?

Exactly! The mistake people make, I think, is in trying to be "right". When it comes to an idea like "god", I don't think we can know what's right or true. So why not quit trying, and go with what works. If it works, meaning that it improves our experience of life and each other, then use it. If it doesn't (as some very strict religions god-concepts don't) then let it go.

That's a very apophatic approach. I don't bump into very many other apophatics. You might enjoy my friend's website: Apophatic Mysticism

He's writing an exceptionally good book (I have snuck a preview of some chapters). Don't know when it's coming out though.
