They are not a gift from God. They are a result of sex from Mother Nature.

Children are NOT a gift from god. Often they mess up lives... Bit like Britney at the momnet
They are just part of nature.
This needs controlm so they only occur when somone is ready and can cope and give the kid a good and happy upbringing and not mess up the woemans life.
Likewise look at Global Warming, pollution, overcrowding, house prices, the homeless, the unemployered, even war all due to too many people and fighting over land and resources

the premise of the arguement is flawed. If children are a gift from God.. They most clearly are not. If God is Just, righteous or any of that he wouldnt give gifts to people who will abuse and mistreat them, children are born everyday to crackhead mothers and child molesters. Especially given that a child is a sentient being its clearly wrong to put them into miserable conditions. This is clearly true given the common christian view that God knows the future and realizes all the abuse these children will go thru.

Perhaps you should state children are a blessing (maybe even add on in disguise). If someone doesn't believe in God they very well wouldn't believe they are receiving a gift from Him. So they would follow what they know of biology and if they are responsible will practice safe sex (for more than birth control).

Children aren't a gift from god, they're a gift from your partner.
However, that doesn't mean I want one.

They are a gift from Mother Nature to many atheists.

This question is a misnomer, because children are not just a "gift from God". Children are also the result of heterosexual coitus, of which people of all denominations are capable.

Ummm....because non-believers can still conceive and they may not want kids at that moment and God isn't prejudice who he gives kids too as evidenced by the psycho's, childmolesters, abusive clergy, drug addicts and a multitude of others that do have kids and shouldn't. Hope this helps.
