Can u elaborate on this statement you made please ?This is one way to come to atheism. Using logic and reason can lead to looking at god claims from a critical perspective and arrive to the conclusion that the claims of theists hold no water.
But by no means is logic and reasoning a "tenet" of atheism. There are plenty of dumb ass atheists out there have never seen the inside of a classroom they took seriously. Just check Facebook for confirmation.

And if part of the brain is missing as the result of a tragic accident yet the person survives , then is the Occupant less of a Person therefore ? We still consider him a full Person don't we ? There is something more to a Human Being than just a compilation of atoms slung together over millions of years and if we are in fact 'just atoms' then why should we believe what anyone says since they would have arrived upon it by accident and from atoms which are untrustworthy ? Humans are made up , it seems, of intrinsic capacity toward logic, reason, deducing, deciphering, et al.
You keep making these bare assertions. "There is something more to a Human Being," or "Atoms are untrustworthy," or "instrinsic capacity."
We are stretching the limits here of what we can do in an introduction thread. Would you make a thread in the proper forum and lay out these claims with why you believe them to be true?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
