Atheism has a lot to do with the inability to accept anything beyond one's intellect. In essense, their intellect is their god.

All Christians must accept many things on faith that "do not make sense":
- The Trinity.
- Why did our Lord have to die for our sins, couldn't He have simply forgiven them?

Of course all of us "struggle" with our faith, because we are imperfect, but we do not abandon our faith simply because it does not meet our finite intellectual abilities.

(There is at LEAST a 'binary'!)
 

NIV Genesis 1:26
   Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
 

NIV Genesis 3:22
   And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."

I pity you for that. I don't have to struggle with faith in nonsensical concepts anymore.
