I read an interesting article by a British philosopher who argues that we are most likely living in a simulation run by a future civilisation - Matrix style. If you assume that future civilisations have vast computing power, and they have the will & the means to run realistic computer simulations of past civilisations, then it follows that the number of simulated humans would vastly outnumber the real ones at any point in time. They'd only have to have one "sim reality" running to make it a 50/50 chance that we're all artificial. If they had a lot of these simulations running at once (imagine the number of people playing The Sims right now for example), then it's highly probable that nothing is real!
So I'm torn between that and aetheism :D
