This is disingenuous.
If we take the definition of atheism to mean a lack of belief in a god or gods [as I subscribe to], then can you please explain how I, being born with no knowledge of a deity in any form, can be brainwashed into lacking a belief in said deities?
Your are also allowing your own biases to creep through. "...you are an atheist" is a crass generalisation that has no place in debate.
