Exactly why so few people are atheists. Then it shouldn't reject theism either.
About 7% of the world's population is more than some religions and many religious sects. The vast majority of people are taught by their parents and other adults they trust that theism (of whatever flavor their family practices) is true from a very young age. Did you not know this?
And you are creator-centered, but Buddhism and Jainism do not have a creator god. That's another 7-8% of the global population that doesn't buy into the 'there must be a creator that started the universe' claim. And based on a previous post of yours about atheism being about not accepting a creator, that would make them atheists too.
Atheism shouldn't reject theism is an absurd statement. Not being theism is what athism is. That the claim is based on an ad populum fallacy just makes it kind of funny.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
