[Serious] Atheist Dogma

[Prof.Lunaphiles]

Looky what I found.

The great majority believe due to childhood indoctrination.
Others due to societal pressures.
Others due to blank sheet impressed by some traumatic event in their lives.
And there are many other reasons... but the main gist is: if that bulk of indoctrinated people didn't exist, the others would very likely not follow suit so easily.
Hence, indoctrination seems to be the main cause for all believers, even if indirectly.

Nobody challenges pocaracas assertion - why not?
What other possibilities are there? How does an isolated individual generate the idea of a supernatural deity by one's self??? The mere basic generation of a god is going to require a group effort.

Or, like plenty of people in western culture, he equates theism with god belief, and god belief with abrahamic flavor.  Pretty much drips out.  

A person can believe in gods and not be a theist, a person can be a christian and a humanist, and no atheist needs be secular or an anti-theist.

What? How do you square that with your previous post?

Theists certainly do have to be indoctrinated.  Theism's claims are complex and regionally specific.  It's much more plausible for a person to have some natural amenability to god beliefs, than to be a born theist.

A near perfect analogy would be the idea of my having been -born- an aggressive american patriot.  I say near perfect..because at least america exists.

Reads as if you agree that theism requires indoctrination.
