Yes it has been answered already but you didn't pay attention.
Any idea is something coming from a together of other thoughts.
It is not possible out of the blue to say ........ i am atheist .....without first
have thought about different issues like the possibility that the universe doesn't
need a creator or the fact that if God would exist he-she wouldn't let the creation go
to the dogs and so many other issues.
Once you reach the mental stage that there can not be a God then you create a believe
based on a myriad of different understanding of how the system works.
To say that you don't believe because there is no evidence is absurd.
It would be a thought out of the blue with no foundation and therefore doesn't make any sense.
Atheism is not those thoughts. You're tagging on other thoughts that you logically think lead to atheism. People can get to atheism through any number of reasons, and whatever those reasons are, they are not atheism either. This is the problem I think, you're treating what you think atheists must also think as atheism. It is not. It is simply the lack of a god belief.
