Why isn't there a "Former atheist" group?

[achilles12604]

Just I thought I've had. Every religious group is covered. Every non-religious or un-religious group is covered. And then we have the "Former Christian" group. However, I at least fit into a former atheist group. I know of a couple others. I know most Christians were born and raised as such, but there is a group out there who rejected before they accepted.

Thanks for the reply! I've got a couple of quick questions for you. How do you know the difference between good and evil? I mean, where does your conscience come from? Did someone have to teach you that it is wrong to lie, steal or murder? Where do you think that knowledge came from?

I have touched on that topic in A question for christians, but really this merits its own debate. Would you like to start?

According to Paul's Letter to the Romans 1:19 we are born with the knowledge of God, as well as the knowledge of good and evil. So, according to christian doctrine, you must actually reject your inherent knowledge of God to be an atheist.

Of course, if you are an atheist, you also reject christian doctrine. I don't believe that there is an inherent knowledge of God. I also don't believe that there is an inherent disbelief in God. We are born agnostics.

My parents taught me the difference between right,wrong, and stealing, and murder. The consequences of many of those is to end up in jail. Simple self defense.
