You know that some people were never taught to believe God is real in the first place, right? How would 'rejecting God' even apply to them?
And the phrasing 'rejecting God' implies we're rejecting a real thing. We're rejecting the claim that God exists, and apparently if there is an omnipotent God, it has chosen not to help the people claiming it is real prove it.
My upbringing was basically secular. God or gods did not figure unless I had to go to a wedding or funeral.
