I can't speak for Rob in detail, only myself.
As for deducing that my parents were atheists, then the answer is I don't know for certain. I was encouraged to question everything and if they did (do) have beliefs then they remain very private although I guess that my father didn't believe in a god and my mother is still on the fence.
You cannot 'logically say' I am continuing in their beliefs because they never pushed a belief my way and I am grateful for that. Being atheist is NOT a belief for the record.
