It is geographically determined but that's literally a reason not to believe in a specific religion. atheism is the lack of religion, or agnosticism or whatever term you want to use. I'm not coming up with an explanation for the origin of the universe, I'm just not believing in one that has no logical backing and has a bunch of contradictions. Maybe it comes down to a matter of guesses there, but why should I believe in others' guesses if they don't make sense to me? lol
my parents never actively tried to talk about atheism to me or anything -- I don't remember them doing so, my mom says she never did so, and i don't think my dad would have either because they wanted us to be able to come to our own conclusions about things like that -- but I was never taken to church or inseminated with faith either, and thus, i have often wondered whether i'd have the same beliefs if i had grown up in a religious community (or how long it would take me to question certain things, if I even would have)
no it isn't. ruling out an explanation for the origin of the universe because it doesn't sound smart enough makes you just as relient on your personal beliefs and faith as any religious person. athiests always like to talk about how religion is geographically determined but it's the exact same for them

oops i shouldve said what instead of wat when speaking to the spelling warrior / sjw
God lives in our imagination because we live in fear of what we created.
i think that god -- at least in the sense mean that word when they say it -- is probably a concept of our creation that exists solely inside our minds so i guess you could say "God lives in every one of us" in that sense? haha...
WOW very smart intellectual independent freethinkers in this thread

god lives in everyone of us islam is the religion of peace gender is a social construct wage gap cisgender water is wet women are opressed in america
spot the one truth
that's not how u write "every one of us" and that's not how you spell "oppressed" but nice try.
Water makes things wet but we use the word "wet" to describe distinct objects covered in water so idk if water is technically wet, though it seems like an arbitrary distinction because language is a system we created for ourselves as humans
