Everyone is born a non-believer, born without the belief of a god. Belief in a creator comes later after your family and community have had a chance to indoctrinate you into whatever religious tradition you have the misfortune of being brought up in.
Did you know, I can more times than not, accurately predict your religion based on your geographical location that you were brought up in? Religion...nothing more than a taught theory...a theory that has zilch, nada, zero, not one shred of tangible evidence to support it. Modern man is 200,000 years old, yet Christian religion appeared only about 6000 years ago. Why? Because it wasnt until man garnered the communication skills, and the intellect to ask the proverbial question of all time, "Why are we here?". Without the science and knowledge of the cosmos we have today, through attrition, they only understood one answer...creation. They then deemed there must be a creator, and poof...god was "born". This belief system went uncontested for thousands of years...thousands of years of parents indoctrinating children into this belief of a god. This is why this belief system is so entrenched in our society. Now, specifically within the last 100 years, we have a wealth of knowlegde of the cosmos, and the earth, and their beginnings. We now know the earth is 4.5 billion years old. We now know life is some 3 billion years old, and all the life on the planet, past and present, evolved over this time. We also now know how the universe began, and that there are a minimum of 100 billion galaxies in the universe. Creation is on the fast track of being out. Just like 600 years ago, every educated person on the planet thought the earth was the center of the universe, and everything revolved around it. Equally, 600 years from now, humanity will look back and laugh that some people believed an invisible magician who lives in the sky made everything from nothing with a nod of his head. But hey, if you want to worship to, and believe in an invisible magician who lived in the sky, that simply "made" everything from nothing at the wisp of his wand, then have at it...I'm not stopping you, nor do I hate you for it...I support religious freedom. I simply choose the overwhelming and abundant scientific evidence that outweighs the (zero) evidence, that a magical man who lives in the sky who "made" everything...science explains everything. Man was not created in god(s) image, rather god(s) were created by man.
