Well to put it simply I believe in scientific concepts, as the evidence points overwhelmingly to those. However I would not rule out that the world was perhaps helped along by a greater and more intelligent force. The only thing I cannot believe in is a God who is perfect AND caring. I am actually ex-Christian and cannot believe in the Judeo-Christian concept of god personally. However I keep an open mind about the existence of a creating force that we could perhaps call god. We may one day find conclusively that all of this was just a load of conincidences and there is indeed nothing out there creating. However we may find out one day that there is. I keep an open mind and just try to lead a life that doesn't hurt anyone else. Hope that makes sense.
There's no such thing as an ex-christian, only people who claim to be christian but have never truely believed the gospel. When you truely believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you can't then not believe the truth. You just never truely believed it in the first place. "Once saved, always saved", or a better term is "IF saved, always saved" which is backed up in scripture quite clearly.
It's not a problem, it doesn't mean you are banned from being saved. But once you're saved, your a new person as the Holy Spirit rests within you, and even though you might try to run away from the faith, you can never truely leave it because God (Holy Spirit) cannot deny himself (unless you weren't saved in the first place and don't have the Holy Spirit in you).
2 Timothy 2:13 - If we believe not,
yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
