Ages of Athiests

[Fidel_Castronaut]

See It just makes me think that perhaps my athiesm is because I havent the knowledge to believe - Where as as a I grow older I will understand I dont need this knowledge?

I'm just wondering why theres a a gap between 18-30 and then not alot of people on these fourms over and above that.

Maybe it's to do more with the ability of users? Younger people tend to be on the internet in greater numbers than older people (there are always exceptions to this rule, however).

We have grown up with the internet and it's second nature to us. This isn't always true of older people. My nan is an atheist, but I doubt she'd know how to even turn a PC on let allone contribute to a forum discussion.

The only knowledge you need to 'believe' is the knowledge that there are other sources of knowledge out there you're willing to ignore to maintain your belief.
