Believing is hard , it's a very deep and complicated idea , as if you can actually see God in everything around you, believing isn't some kind of choice you make.

Being atheist is like choosing the easy path, you are atheist because you can't really believe , that's how I see it

You have it the other way around. It's much easier to believe in fairy tales than it is to see reality for what it is. Simple example: Santa. You have to be an ignorant kid to believe it, and it is, yet you have to be slightly older and mature to understand that Santa is just a whole lot of bullshit.

Believing while you're rational and mature is totally different mater than an innocent kid being told some tales by his parents which means everything to him.

Mind that when I say believing I don't mean any kind of religion , many people are christian only because they've born as christian and many people are Muslims for the same reason .. etc . BTW " choosing the easy path" isn't necessarily a bad thing , I didn't mean it that way

Or they just didn't end up being rational and mature enough to realize that the fairy tale they believe in is false.
