What drives one to Atheism, or perhaps evolution. Is it that one rejects God, then finds comfort in something else, or do you look at evolution and determine it to be closer to the truth?
Or, are there athiests who also reject evolution, and just don't know what to make of life.
Evolution is a fact, check the evidence made available online by those who actually do the research. Evolution deniers never actually do anything other than deny, falsify their credentials, and lie.
I'm an atheist, and nothing ever "drove" me there. In fact, it's not even someplace where one can go. We are all born atheists. Other animal life forms never even begin to believe in any gods, therefore why should animals of said higher intelligence hold such beliefs? I traced my path back to the starting point, saw nothing of substance to keep me where I had been shanghaied and carried off to and buttloads of blatant dishonesty and abuse, therefore I walked away on my own two feet.
Your dog, if you have one, doesn't believe in your god, but if he was capable of conceptualizing such woo he would regard you as his god, with no difference in his behavior toward you. Most dog owners are better gods than Yahweh, in that they actually hear their pets pleas for help and take care of them. Like dogs, we can still believe in greater things than ourselves, be they greater people, groups we ally ourselves to, or the elements of the universe which are just plain greater without the make-believe of supernatural ideas.
