RE: If you had a button that would turn all theists into atheists and agnostic?

Obviously my previous analogy was not sufficient. My most recent analogy is much more in line with what I am trying to say. Regardless of how we see atheism, the initial sentiment is untrue. You said all atheists think for themselves in such a way that implied that theists would start to think for themselves only after being forced to become atheist, thus implying that only atheists think for themselves and that all do so. Ignoring the first implication that theists are not capable of thinking for themselves and focusing only on the idea that all atheists think for themselves, would you not question it when considering how many people blindly follow what others teach them to believe in all walks of life?
