When/ how did you become an atheist?

And you base this optimism on what?

What optimism anyway?
I'm just saying your post is fallacious.
Your "logic" is that because something never happened before, it can never happen.
I hope you can see what's wrong in this picture.

No but strangely atheists are growing in numbers in the UK for instance.

Also in places like the US a larger and larger amount of the younger generations become atheists. Why do you think this is?

Wow! Talk about not looking out the window... Try taking your own advice and thinking John.
What are the statistics for atheism? Why do you think (wrong question since it's you I'm addressing, I know) the figures are rising?

WTF are these two posts about?
 
And your post still sucks John. Just because stuff never happened, doesn't mean it can't.
If the opposite was the case, every day would be a repetition of exactly similar events that happened before.

I have never been influenced or coerced to change my opinion due to religion or religious people.

I've not been successfully coerced, but I've been publicly ridiculed for not being Christian back in high school.

Oh, wow I need a caffeine pill and a nap. BBL

But how much of life has been influenced by the pervasive religion in the US*?
Laws?
Practices?
Customs?
Policies?
Etc...

* And I'm not just applying this to the US alone: religion, throughout history, has had deep influences on societ[y/ies].

Atheism

Atheism is fundamentally a reaction to theism and is overwhelming expressed as a disbelief of theist claims. Atheist opinions will vary from absolute certainty that gods do not exist through various degrees of uncertainty to simple skepticsm. Typically when asked, an atheist will say they do not believe in the existence of gods. Many atheists will leave open the possibility that gods might exist providing appropriate evidence is provided.

One is a statement of belief, the other is a statement of non-belief.
