Atheism is the default you're born with

..until you look around. The fool--and perhaps children--say in their heart there is no God.

The wise man says it to the world.

... and see absolutely no evidence for the existence of any deity. In your view I'm blind, in my view you're hallucinating.

I simply don't believe, a childhood superstition that died as I grew up just like Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny. Do you remember consciously rejecting either of the latter? I don't.

But as many use the word "reject" to say that my lack of belief implies my acknowledgement of existent and rejection in the face of that, remember this: A Christian rejects all the world's gods as false, save one, while an atheist simply rejects one more. In other words, if you want to use the "believes but rejects" argument, then you believe in all the worlds gods, yet reject them most.
