Otherwise, I feel there is a strong connection between humanity and God, that without all these factors, we can easily connect to God and know he exists.
This is my perspective/hypothesis, not stating it as fact.
I can only speak for myself and respond simply with....no!
No bias, my parents aren't religious and allowed me the time and freedom to think about it independently. I don't believe that god or gods exist, the reason being is that I've seen no reason or evidence to suggest that such a being exists. It's the same with 'souls/spirits/afterlife'. I've rejected them all due to lack of evidence.
No shyness, no bias, no indoctrination. Just plain simple lack of belief. Just how I lack belief in gargoyles, pixies and fairies. Same reason. No evidence.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
