The most important reason anyone is an atheist

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I didn't assume materialism to begin with, because I was a small child who didn't know about gods. As I grew older, religious claims and god-fervor just seemed bewilderingly pointless. I never made a choice to be an atheist. Again, if you held a gun to my head and told me that I'd better believe or else, I would of course try mightily, but I'd fail, just as you would fail if you were asked to believe in Allah or Zeus. You and I are both in serious danger of Islamic hell if Muslims are right, but that idea worries neither of us.

If you're comparing God as in the eternal creator to Zeus a created being then you don't have a good understanding of what God is meant to be to begin with. Even if you want to be an atheist you need study your theology a bit first. But at least you're claiming that you choose atheism as a belief which is what it is, even if it was essentially a reaction against the fundies or whoever who are in a way determining what you believe.

I was born an atheist. Are you saying I studied 'my theology' [?????????] in the womb?

Come on man, speak sense!
