Exactly!

The word "feeling" is very inadequate here. I suppose I mean an "innate sense" that god is real. I feel that, probably because I grew up going to church till I was 18, and also because of natural evolutionary causes. But the more I learn, the more this "innate sense" is departing.

So this "innate sense" is not proof at all. If it were, it would stand in the face of all other arguments. But how many atheists have turned their back on this "innate sense"?

And I still feel like I haven't described this correctly...
