Have you ever researched about God, for a lack of better words. ( I know atheists can't look into something that does not exist, but humor me)
For them.
I don't believe in evolution. Evolution is a fact and the ToE seeks to explain it (and does a pretty good job of it too). Completely irrelevant to atheism, though.
And that's that, really.
In wasn't raised an atheist to be fair, my Parents never told me what to believe. They taught me how to think and question things. Both are atheists but I never once had a discussion about it with them when I was young.
And no, I've never felt the need nor the care to do so. Many people have tried to convince me to believe in their gods, and to date none of their claims or evidences have met my minimum criteria for believing. I come from a country where people are apathetic to religion and religious belief systems, too. So the prevalence of religion in public life is so little as to be almost non-existent.
