What, because they call you names? Have you ever considered that they just don't like you? and that it has nothing to do with their atheism?

Combined with the lack of any good arguments or scientific evidence in support of atheism, one can conclude with a high degree of confidence that most atheism is irrational.
Atheism doesn't need any arguments, seriously? Do you understand the burden of proof? And you are just lying when you say there is no scientific evidence to support atheism. There is certainly plenty that discredits the christian god. The earth is billions of years old for one, the bible says otherwise. It also says humans came from adam and eve. But there is no evidence of this in our DNA, if it were true, we would see a genetic bottle neck. But there is none. I could literally write for hours about all the scientific evidence that discredits and contradicts god and supports atheism.

Please explain why children believe in santa, the tooth fairy, the easter bunny etc. Oh please lets hear your hypothesis on this.

a) Kids believe all kinds of nonsense.
b) Most atheists became atheists when they were kids
