I'm not much of a joiner. Do you think that's the real reason I'm an atheist?

Answer 1

It's likely. Most people get mired in religion either because of childhood indoctrination, a need for authority figures and peer groups to validate their choices, or a weakness of character that responds to the paternalism of religious authority (pathological criminality or drug dependency, for example). "Not a joiner" generally means that you're intelligent and courageous enough to make your own decisions and cope with their consequences without the life-long crutch of an imaginary parental surrogate in the sky.

Answer 2

It might be part of the reason but it probably isn't the whole reason.

Answer 3

Probably contributed to it. When you're alone you spend more time thinking, and the more thinking you do, the more likely you'll be an atheist.

Answer 4

Might be a part of why you weren't sucked into group thought.

Answer 5

Sarcasm.

You're probably an atheist because you reject the authority God would have over you if you accepted the idea that the God who created you exists.

Answer 6

Yep - same as me!

These Christians say that we should be more "Christ-like" - I'm crap at carpentry - so I'm knackered!

Answer 7

I don't know; I've never met you. More importantly, do you think that's why?

Answer 8

You have been decieved....

Psalm 14

1 The fool says in his heart,
"There is no God."
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
2 The LORD looks down from heaven
on the sons of men
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.

3 All have turned aside,
they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.

Answer 9

No

Answer 10

No.
