The absence of belief of adult atheists is nothing like the absence of belief of a cabbage. The absence of belief of a cabbage is like the absence of belief of a baby. Neither babies nor cabbages consciously address the God concept, actually think about it, and conclude it is nonsense. They just are nonbelievers by default. I'm an agnostic atheist myself but it irks me when so many people pretend they're like a cabbage or baby in their atheism, when they've clearly thought about God and considered it nonsense. It's not like they don't have an opinion on the improbability of it. Even people who have never believed in God, think about it at some point before considering that it is nonsense. We don't live in a vacuum.
And another pet peeve: It's an absence and not a lack.
