Really? You act as if I just judged every atheist with that post. I said most of the ones I know. Like I've stated, most of the kids I know seem to have no knowledge in religion at all. And it's pretty obvious they just adopt this just because they see others doing it. I would ask them "How come you don't believe in a God?" (Specifically not alluding to the Christian god.) They would never give me any decent answers at all. They wouldn't even use philosophical or scientific matters. It was clearly a choice with no real substantial reasoning, as I don't think any of them actually knew anything on the matter. They probaby weren't very religious to begin with. So of course you can easily give up something that you never really had any deep connection with to begin with.

If you weren't attempting to use your anecdotal evidence from your personal experience with atheists, then what was the point of including that quip at all?
You can't run away from what you said by attempting to reduce your post into some off topic rambling. I, as well as anyone else who read that post, know exactly what you were doing which is why I promptly rebutted it using actual facts.
It's possible the alleged atheists simply didn't want to indulge you in a discussion they've had countless times, thought of you as a peasant, were ignorant, or any other of a variety of assumptions and after reading your posts I can see why they might not engage in such a discussion with you.
