Atheism = Desperation

[Fidel_Castronaut]

A child not taught the god concept will not come up with the god concept on its own, so long as it has access to science and education.

Really? Is that I scientific fact or just your own speculation?

The cohort effect has been evidenced to show that children who are brought up in irreligious households tend not to affiliate themselves to a religion or a religious belief. The opposite has also been researched whereby children brought up in more religiously conservative households tend also to espouse those religious beliefs (specifically islam and black christian churches in England and wales over a given period of time). Education may play a part on this as the general rule of thumb is that more affluent societies tend to be less religious (although there are exceptions, naturally, like the US).

Also, myself as anecdotal evidence. My parents never spoke or brought up the idea of a god or gods. Indeed I never came into contact with a serious belief In a deity until a fundie Christian teacher at my school began speaking about his belief when I was in my Tweens (maybe 7/8?)And by then I was able to differentiate between claims with evidence and substance to them and those that didn't (a skill garnered from my parents and other teachers at the school).

Wouldnt necessarily say it's scientific but the link is certainly plausible.
