This category would also include the child with the conceptual capacity to grasp the issues involved, but who is still unaware of those issues. The fact that this child does not believe in god qualifies him as an atheist." - George H. Smith, 1979 A newborn does not believe in a god - by definition, it is an atheist. I stand by these statements -

A person can become educated or remain an ignorant. If one remains ignorant one could continue without developing superstitions, in theory, in practice we will make up gods and ghost to explain everything we don't understand and everything we fear. A typical atheist has invested much more in learning about reality, I wonder how many of those so called EX-atheists know about, say, Pascal's Wager (by name) as well as a summary of the rebuttals. How many of them have read The God Delusion? Heck, how many of them have actually read the Bible (something atheists are much better at doing that most theists) these guys are asking for a big lesson. In the end is part of the subversion game, they call themselves ex-atheist creation scientists and call us unscientific zealots in an attempt to murky the waters, cheating bastards. They are of course still atheists about all gods, but they never let god of the god of their parents. No JT, we are born ignorant not atheists. A person can become educated or remain an ignorant.

I've been an atheist since the day I was born. Well technically they are correct since everyone is born not believing in a god… I’ve been an atheist since the day I was born.
