I grew up without religion. My parents weren't interested in religion at all really. My mum reasoned against God. I objected when they sent me to Sunday school so they stopped sending me.
I was introduced to it in my mid 20s. That lasted a few years then I deconverted. A few years back I reconverted. I've been atheist for the vast majority if my life.
As a non Christian you lose it. You cannot rationalise a just reality made possible with God without God.
Belief makes it possible, but in the end we're all human and subject to the same forces.
So while someone who believes and has access to a better reality, they always have the choice to reject it. I reject it all the time.
If you don't believe, you never have access to that world view.
