My experience is that they come to deny primary premises which cannot be proven except by direct experience or witnessing.
For example, deny we know we have perpetual identity. Deny we know we inherit our actions (it becomes part of who we are). Deny we know there is objective praise or morality or value or worth or greatness or honor. Deny there are stages -higher and lower, and that this system of inheriting our actions is obvious. Deny the light. Deny everything that points to God. Even deny we know free-will exists if it leads you to believe in a soul.
But this is to me is to no surprise no more. I have thought of the issue of how obvious it is upon sincere reflection of what we are. That we are spiritual beings, souls, it's obvious we aren't just a program created by a biological machine, but that, we really are something of substance....not just an experience created through what doesn't have experience. We aren't non-material experience created by material. We are spiritual beings. It's so manifest, so clear.
God is the Manifest True King.
I use to think most Atheists would not mind believing in God if they were presented evidence. But I've come to the conclusion, very few of humanity seek the truth or embrace it when they find it.
You're the one not seeking truth. You refuse to accept the possibility that you are wrong, which by definition is not seeking the truth. Those who seek the truth are willing to consider that they are wrong. They do not come up with a finite answer. Those that do are only lying to themselves.
