Can you please explain to me how an Atheist can not only say that he has "Strong Religious Views", but can also write this statement in his OP:

Surely you can see how this is confusing.
Go on, I'm listening.
Can you please explain how an atheist can make these statements?
Yes. I naturally became an atheist because the conditions of my upbringing allowed me to make that free choice. However, one of my friends was not so fortunate. He went to the same catholic school as me. Why does he believe in God and not me? His brother died of an overdose when we were 14 years old. My best friend, whose opinion I trust on all matters, believes his brother is in heaven. He is smarter than me in so many ways, but for some strange reason he's willing to believe his brother is in heaven.
I've never tried to convince him otherwise.
Count yourself lucky my friend.
