Now I'm an atheist. And today I went to school, had fun then I went home, played video games, hung out with friends, listened to music. The main difference is now, I spend my time reading science and learning good stuff instead of saying "goddidit"
Some people say "Goddidit" and stop there on the surface.
Others (like myself) want to know exactly how God did it and pour through the sciences and religions both ancient and modern to collect the proper amount of data to apply to such a vast question and depth of process.
Some take what others tell them about God and believe or disbelieve, some wrestle with God for themselves.

Complacency doesn't usually get someone killed unless they stop eating, or stop in front of a moving vehicle...
