Did you choose to be an atheist? CAN one choose to be an atheist? [Spirituality & Religion]

For me, not believing in a god is not a choice any more than not believing in santa claus is a choice.
I simply don't believe the story. The tales are improbable, the evidence unconvincing.
I can't decide that i believe that which i do not believe.

Can you be more specific with your question? It seems to me to be a pretty simple thought.

@Pikachu I don't understand what you mean by that phrase - it's just a weird way of saying that you don't believe in something that you don't have tangible proof. Is English your second language ? just wondering.
