What made you an atheist?
#25
RE: What made you an atheist?
There is of course one's own perspective and then there is God's knowledge of why people are Atheists.  In my perspective, although I don't think people are stating anything they don't believe, just like Atheists don't believe Theists when they say "we can discern the reality of God's light and see his existence", but believe they have other reasons in why they believe in God, I believe the following reasons, they are all true for some while for others only some apply:

1. Ignorance of what one recognizes inwardly due to various reasons but still acts on those recognitions in real life.
2. Not recognizing the sword of God in the soul among many swords, many false swords, and failing to thereby recognize one's true self. In short one sees the light, but can't distinguish it from false perceptions and falsehoods, and takes the falsehood as the way, instead of the way that leads to God and is from God and towards God.  
3. They know God can be known and how but aren't willing to take that leap of vision and testify in the souls. 
4. No effort to not listen the whispers of the dark one and number 1 enemy of humanity and his forces, and going into automatic mode of simply believing everything it and his forces whisper to them.
5.  Unwilling or unable to acknowledge that the living essence of one self, that is not just an experience created by a biological forces, but is a real living reality, while to deny that is to deny a vision we all have of ourselves.
6. Denying all metaphysical knowledge that points to the divine, demanding proofs for things we are ingrained with knowledge of.
7. Not being convinced by some logical sound arguments that remind of God not because one really disbelieves in any of the premises that lead to the conclusion, but simply doesn't accept the conclusion, and hence denies all the premises leading to it.
8. Never deeply thinks about the reality they are linked to and that they constantly see and become hard hearted towards that remembrance despite it being there with them, inside of them.
9. Unwilling or unable to acknowledge the signs in the soul that point to the divine and speak of an eternal source.
10. Covering one's ears from words of God in the soul and spoken by a tree of paradise that extends to all things, and light of his face that encompasses.
11. The light of sincerity towards God has been dimmed in the soul due their actions being for other then God, and hence, one cannot see the servants of God they were meant to be, and the beauty and honour that lied in sincerely testifying to him.
12. Arrogance destroys the earth of God by which all things grow, and any water descending on it doesn't produce vegetation.

Again not saying all of these apply to everyone, but these are among the reasons I believe that make up why Atheists are Atheist.

In my opinion has nothing to do with God not being manifest or too hidden.  He is both manifest and hidden, he is manifestly concealed, is the sense that his manifestation points to his ultimate self being beyond vision. Yet the signs all are so linked to God, that God is the light of all light, and what gives everything it's creation and guides it to it's goal.
