I should think rarely.

Quote:Is it a chemical imbalance in their brains (or in ours)?

Why would it be an imbalance? Perhaps a belief 'God' implies a balance of chemicals in the brain Sleepy

Quote:Is it genetic? Are Atheists the next step in evolution?

No, and no.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
