I've been an atheist all my life as well. My family gave me the option to believe or not. Total freedom to make up my mind on my own. My school kept trying to push me towards religion by sending the whole class to church and singing religious songs. Made little or no impact on any of us. It was a catholic school which I had no choice but to go in because options were very limited.
So really, a mostly secular stand point where I could of gone either way. The more I learnt about religion, the more skeptical I became. I'm not easily impressed by stories and claims.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
