    if you were spoon-fed a certain religion as a child

    And if you weren’t? Probably hard to believe for most Americans but atheism isn’t an invention of the current generations.

      Of course it isn’t.

      And if you weren’t?

      That’s actually a very difficult thing… even someone who was raised in a non-religious home would be exposed to religion (and things worse than religion under our current circumstances) through social osmosis. Soooo… you’d have to find someone that was raised in a society that can be called atheist with a straight face.
