Why did god make atheist?

Answer 1

He didn't.
They know there's a God, they just refuse to accept His authority.

Answer 2

God made morally free creatures, angels and humans. In fact, God not do otherwise.

So some choose to not believe.

No, everyone is born with a sense that there is some higher moral authority than our own selves.

Lost in the hullabaloo over the neo-atheists is a quieter and potentially more illuminating debate. It is taking place not between science and religion but within science itself, specifically among the scientists studying the evolution of religion. These scholars tend to agree on one point: that religious belief is an outgrowth of brain architecture that evolved during early human history. What they disagree about is why a tendency to believe evolved, whether it was because belief itself was adaptive or because it was just an evolutionary byproduct, a mere consequence of some other adaptation in the evolution of the human brain.

Which is the better biological explanation for a belief in God -- evolutionary adaptation or neurological accident? Is there something about the cognitive functioning of humans that makes us receptive to belief in a supernatural deity? And if scientists are able to explain God, what then? Is explaining religion the same thing as explaining it away? Are the nonbelievers right, and is religion at its core an empty undertaking, or a misdirection, or a vestigial artifact of a primitive mind? Or are the believer’s right, and does the fact that we have the mental capacities for discerning God suggest that it was God who put them there?

In short, are we hard-wired to believe in God? And if we are, how and why did that happen?

Answer 3

God didn't make atheists. According to atheists, God doesn't exist, so how could a non-existent being make anything?
Then again, according to Christians, perhaps the devil made atheists to try to sway otherwise Christian people into believing there is no God.

In that case, why might an all-knowing god make Satan?

So, either there is no god, or God is more than the Christians and others actually understand, or the Bible is a really weird story of a god who knowingly creates his own worst enemy and allows this enemy to take away his followers.

I tend to think that nobody, including the Christians understand the nature of deity; that the Bible is ONE story among many that attempts to describe the indescribable.

Answer 4

God did not make Atheists - God made humans. Humans made themselves Atheists.

Answer 5

God didn't make atheists. I find it ironic that most of the atheists that answer seem to resent God and anyone who worships HIM, but I'm not sure WHY they would be so angry if the whole idea of atheism is to NOT believe in God? So, how can you be so angry at something you don't believe in??

Answer 6

God made all human beigns with the capacity to believe in God,but the "atheist"chooses not to believe in God.But watch it,when the so-called atheist finds himself in trouble he remembers GOD and calls out for help!In essence everyone needs God because we were made to know and love Him.Do you?

Answer 7

God created people with the ability to make their own choices. If they choose not to believe that He existence because they haven't seen Him or seen any sign of Him or He never answered their prayers, then they can freely think that way. He didn't make them to be atheists.

Answer 8

I'm surprised that people don't see how good of a question this is.

God is supposedly omniscient, correct? Then he obviously knew that He was creating people who would prove without a doubt that He did not exist.

Therefore, either
a) God wants atheists to exist, and they are a part of His Divine Plan (assuming he even has a plan...) or
b) GOD DOES NOT EXIST.

Answer 9

He didn't "make" atheists, but he did make a brain that is free to think any thoughts that it wants....You might as well ask the question "Why did God make people who don't like chocolate ice cream"!..........

Answer 10

Free Will means that you can make your own decisions.......even to ignore the authenticity of the Bible.

Ignore your God given conscience.

Make your own god.

That doesn't mean that they are not accountable for the actions that they made or continue to make.

Even the angels have free will..........satan is the proof of that.

"You are sealing up a pattern, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 In E′den, the garden of God, you proved to be. Every precious stone was your covering, ruby, topaz and jasper; chrys′o·lite, onyx and jade; sapphire, turquoise and emerald; and of gold was the workmanship of your settings and your sockets in you. In the day of your being created they were made ready. 14 You are the anointed cherub that is covering, and I have set you. On the holy mountain of God you proved to be. In the midst of fiery stones you walked about. 15 You were faultless in your ways from the day of your being created until unrighteousness was found in you.

16 “‘“Because of the abundance of your sales goods they filled the midst of you with violence, and you began to sin. And I shall put you as profane out of the mountain of God, and I shall destroy you, O cherub that is covering, from the midst of the fiery stones.

17 “‘“Your heart became haughty because of your beauty. You brought your wisdom to ruin on account of your beaming splendor. Onto the earth I will throw you. Before kings I will set you, [for them] to look upon you." -Ezekiel 28:12-17

.........although a prophecy concerning the King of Tyre it is also a prophetic pattern concerning God's Adversary.

Answer 11

Well.... it should be the other way around ..... an atheist made a god so real even he believed it himself.
