I agree with that..

I was reading your home-page, and respect your privacy and I just have a question for you, if you feel comfortable answering it.

What makes a person an atheist?

Depends on the person, I suppose. For me, it was long years of study of all the religions of the world, followed by the conclusion that each of them thought they were the _right_ religion. Either all of them are right, in my opinion, or all of them are wrong.

It's more complicated than that, and not on the topic of this thread, but becoming an atheist, for me, was a matter of a very long-considered process.

I don't suggest that anyone else become an atheist. Each person's beliefs or non-beliefs are up to that person.
