If you live your whole life thinking that you have a special purpose in the universe and are going to be with the all-powerful creator of the universe after you die, it's hard to want to strip yourself of this feeling.
I just don't relate to be honest at all. My parents are religious and I went to a quite strongly Protestant school, and yet pretty much when I got to the age when I stopped believing in Father Christmas I just though religion was all rubbish.
I think its much easier to be atheist than believe something with no evidence just based on people around you's word.
Wanting to believe in God or not has nothing to do with it as its not easy to force yourself to believe something.
Maybe some people just have a screwed up brain. I dunno.
