In fact they couldn't make you like them/love them. But most people love their parents.No silly billy, the flying spaghetti monster gave us free will. It says so in my FSM Gospel.

An atheist does not believe in God. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't tack on your bit about 'evidence' to the definition of atheism.

There is a question that physicists are struggeling with now regarding the fine tuning of the constants of nature. Are you familiar with it?It matters as much why they believe in God, as it does their belief in unicorns, unless they have a valid reason for that belief. Yup, their reasons are invalid.
Why God? Why not the flying spaghetti monster?
