Most major religions have atheists/disbelievers. One of the things I have found interesting is the God they don't believe in is the one they grew up with( i.e. a person raised Catholic disbelieves in the Catholic concept of God. I think the reason the arguments on here are mostly between Christians and atheists are 1) Atheists usually put Hey Christians or some other comment in their question and 2) the atheists do not want to really discuss a topic merely spend a little free time mocking someone and 3) They don't have the nerve to say the same things to the Muslims. You beliebve that the Christians will take it but the Muslims you have a prejudice toward and won't talk to them the same way.

No. Christian and Atheist parents both brainwash their children. I am an Atheist and I do not force my views on anyone. My wife and kids are Christians and go to church. I was not raised as an Atheist, I simply studied the Bible later on in life when I could comprehend what I read. When the Four Gospels could not agree on even the simplest thing, such as whether or not Jesus married Mary Magdalene, I went my own way.

I might be a Christian but am only human, what you believe is your choice and decision. I do not have power to make you do, say, or believe; anything. If you do not believe there is a G-d or in His Son Jesus the Christ, that is between you and G-d; it is none of my business.
Some might see it as there 'duty' to convert others to Christianity. But that is not our calling at all. We are supposed to show the "Light" (Jesus the Christ) to the world, through our actions and words. Then each person must either believe or not believe, of their own accord. I am sorry that some have taken it to the "Militant" level. But pray that you will see it in your heart to forgive them for "they know not what they are doing".
I refuse to say that anyone will go to hell, because I am only human and trust that G-d knows full well what He is doing. He Alone will judge all and decide who is or is not saved. It is after all His Kingdom and His Rules.
"The one who is without sin may cast the first stone!"

I think that it is questioning of what you were taught that creates atheism.
A lot of people are born into religious families and told what is "absolute" truth. Those who change their beliefs could do it for any reason, surely though there are people who push people over the edge and into the world of discovery without discipline and dictation. To those people I say, thank you, while not the sole reason, you have helped me become the atheist that I am today.
Personally I would contribute my throughly reading of the Bible as a child ultimately leading me to my atheism. Even as a kid I was seeing contradictions and absurd "justice" throughout the Bible.

No. In the book of psalms which was being composed hundreds of years before Christianity there is mention of how there are people who don't believe in God. Also there were many atheists when Christianity just appeared, which is written about in many historic sources.

No. It's critical thinking that does it. Not all atheists started out as christians, and atheists have probably been around at least as long as theists have. There are always some who think for themselves, and prefer rationality to irrationality.

Not christians...some of them like those who started the inquisition and those in charge of the church...but not Jesus nor his disciples had to do nothing to do with it
I am sorry...is GOD the one who created them, this is what Quran says:
"Surely you do not make the dead to hear, and you do not make the deaf to hear the call when they go back retreating."

Sometimes, yes, it is. Many people are atheists because of hypocrisy in Christians, and in religion in general.

No way.
I was born and raised in Muslim country.
.
No religion specifically created or induced my atheism. It's pure result of escaping spontaneous and deadly brainwash of families and communities of any religion. My parents and grandparents were not practising any religion, my father believes in god but never believe any religion or prophet. School tried but failed. So I was free of brainwash.
People who faced to such brainwash in their early childhood cannot even discover they are brainwashed to believe in God and religion.
Then there is a second step, reading and learning natural sciences. It's an important factor to be a sceptical atheist. And it makes a difference between atheists also.
There are atheists who just refuse God because of certain rules of a certain religion.
And there are atheists who just believe any mystery or supernatural but God, such as reincarnation, astrology, ghosts etc.
And there are natural sceptic Atheists who do not believe anything without proper reasons.
Atheism requires failure of childhood brainwash and then studying sciences.
