So your an Athiest

[Mister Agenda]

Marko, you were an atheist too before your parents shoved the bullshit down your throat.
Not believing is the default position.

Do you understand that concept?
Being driven to atheism is what happens when you're not driven to church and brainwashed....
Sad but true...

This is good, a lot of you have said this, but I like how this is worded. " Not believing is the default position". Now if only it can be said without the baggage of evolution following behind. I have a question, do you believe in evolution as a fallback to believe in something, as the National Acadamy of Sciences tells you to, or do you believe in evolution for the sake of evolution itself.'' Not believing is the default position'' can stand on its own. I think it would do atheism better to leave it out.

I accept the basic claims of evolution as being the best explanation for the diversity of life because I studied it and found the evidence convincing. My assumption going in was that it was false. Instead, I found that literally everything I had been taught as a young earth creationist was untrue. However, that did not rule out a God who initiated a universe conducive to the development of life, it just ruled out Christian and Muslim and as far as I know, all the other religious creation stories about how we got plants and animals.

Atheism does leave it out. It is a separate topic. Atheism and theism are contrary opinions on a single topic. But you're trying to get at why people become atheists, and finding out that creationism is false can be a contributing factor, if you were raised to believe that not only is creationism true, you have to believe it to be a Christian (or Muslim and so on).
