Can an American citizen be a real atheist?

[downbeatplumb]

And besides "all" atheists had been poluted by religions and god from birth

I do not remember believing in god at all, it has always seemed a silly concept to me.

Atheism only took off in America during the internet boom, and so is around the world....source one for sure. So 1% is a generous estimate.

Then why are unbelievers mentioned in the bible.

In a square mile radius where you live, find out how many atheists are in that 1 mile radius...hey that's a very good source,your own neck of the woods.

The only christian I know of for sure personally is my mum and shes not all that sure.
There may be people that I know who are christians but they dont wear it on their sleeves or go to church or anything, (except my mum) they are indestinguishable from atheists really.
I live in the UK, we got rid of most our religious nutters centuries ago, flushing them in the direction of america.
