The thing is if I was Atheist, I would see chance of Creator to be high, in that it's at least 50%.
Let me explain. It seems there are good arguments to show time had a start. Now you can say a timeless universe may have started the universe into becoming a time one, but for all you know, that could be impossible and be proven to be rational impossible. You don't know a universe can change without time already being part of it and property of it. And it seems to be more special pleading to say the universe had a timeless state when we know time is a property of it, rather, then to state something else created it that was timeless. And the latter seems more logical. But if uncertain to a 50/50, it's more like a coin toss.
The same is true of knowing whether a soul exists or not. I believe I can see a soul exists I experience it directly and know it exists. But if I was Atheist, how would I dismiss the possibility of a soul being part of reality and necessary characteristic of consciousness. Again we have 50/50, for all we know type perspective.
The same is true of nature of morality, love, value, praise. The same is true of perpetual identity, inheriting our actions....etc....something keeping score to our value and objectively maintaining and giving it's reality through seeing it, and what we earn is being upheld by this being.
The same is true of other things like "from nothing, nothing follows" - knowledge of that, may imply we have knowledge of nature of existence to a degree, and the same knowledge perhaps points to us knowing "everything existing has a constant cause...either it constantly causes itself or is caused by something else". The question is the smallest unit of existence what causes itself to exist....or is more logical to assume a super powerful being is causing existence even at this very moment?
These type things....at the very least, make it a coin toss. And even a person says "well I don't know", it is not reason to assume others can't know or don't know. Perhaps the nature of knowledge of these things takes a bit of trust in reason we been given.
Perhaps Atheist lack trust in their reason. In other words, to simply say, believers are foolish to believing in God seems to be making at sort of way of argument "If I don't affirm these things, no one else can...if they aren't convincing to me, they can't be convincing to anyone else".
The other thing is denying the validity of faith. If God exists, he is a mystical magical being, and link to him can be mystical and magical. That is to say different levels of faith can exist, and the reality of faith in God can rely on a nature of knowledge linked to him, that is higher and more sacred then other type.
Perhaps due to how humbling and sacred this love, some people, wanting to make their world or themselves number 1, may deny it all together, being afraid of the unseen path that lies in such a journey through faith.
Or there being high exalted ranks through this faith, they may want to deny such stations to justify their lower station.
Some people may just be deceived into thinking their soul has little potential, no help of God can come to it and make it rise to high states of witnessing and knowledge of Him.
This all done by usually by assuming there is no God so as to be a mystical connection, and then assuming there is no proof in form of arguments, and assume there is no evidence as well.
