I would point out that not having such a belief (in Jesus or whatever else is used to fill in the blank) is not the same as a refusal to believe. My car could refuse to start for me because of some fault inherent in its operation or function, or sheer bloodymindedness. If I don't even own a car - which I don't - the reason for its refusal to start becomes blindingly obvious.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
