What Makes Atheists?

I’m not sure an atheist can answer this question, other than to say, “One either believes in things where there is evidence, or one doesn’t, and I was wired to be the former as opposed to the latter.”

Speaking for myself, I knew when I was three years old that the God thing wasn’t going to work for me.  How I was born like this I have no idea.

In the off chance that I leave this world and confront a God who takes me to task for my position, I plan to explain, “I’m sorry.  I simply didn’t see enough evidence to support that belief.” A loving God cannot have a problem with that.

If there is a God and it turns out He’s the angry old guy from the Old Testament, we’re all screwed anyway.
