An argument atheists use on theists is that you just believe whatever your parents believed. The notion that God is some kind of myth, fairy-tale or unscientific can be just as much a cultural transmission as a religion can be and it can just as easily be wrong.
Actually, I never said my parents believed God did not exist. I said my parents never tried to force any kind of religion onto me. They raised me to think for myself and to choose my own choices. I inherited no mentality from them. They weren't even all that forthcoming with their political views. They refused to raise me with their beliefs so that I could make my own decisions.
