Everyone is born an atheist. Its not some mythical being babies cry out for when they are lonely or hungry. All the faith you care to have won't magically put milk in a baby's stomach. Theism is taught by parents and others the child grows up around.

Which god you are taught to exist is based largely on which geographic area you are born in. Thats two of the above realizations that started me on the path to atheism.
