The Pirahã people know of no god and even rejected the idea of Jesus when they found out that the missionaries had never heard or seen him. This is proof positive that atheism exists separate from theism, but even on a much greater scale, there are millions of atheists who have never believed in any god at any time in their life. Regardless of whether or not they heard of your god, they made the choice to reject theism often solely on the premise of my original point: lack of knowledge because of lack of evidence.
I agree with you, but disagree with it being " Millions", no, not on that scale, but small pockets like those Amazon Piraha.
You can disagree, but you have no evidence for your position. You're basically saying that those millions of atheists would only be atheists as long as there were theists walking around on the planet. That's just ridiculous, and I have proven that with real evidence.
