I have a daughter by accident. She was adopted as neither I nor my wife are suitable as parents.
As for atheists as a group being more anti-children than average, I can't say why that is (if it's true). I can personally say that my brain is wired very differently than the average person regarding children. I feel no special bond to them (or adult family members for that matter). My likelihood of feeling kinship with someone is based entirely on the resonance of their values and interests with mine. Family members have no special place in my world.
Although never formally diagnosed, I suspect I have Asperger's Syndrome or other Autism-spectrum disorder. My sensitivity to noise (especially a crying baby!), lack of bonding instinct and tendency towards narcissism lead me to believe such. I do have strong empathy for underdogs in general and especially for animals, though.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
