i say that intelligence causes atheism out of personal experience. almost all intelligent kids in my school who are the goody-goods who make 100s and get mad when they get a 99, are atheists. they are heavy thinkers who think about these things and see no proof of God's existence. i used to be young and naive and i believed in Christianity with no question but now i am not sure.
A couple more semesters and you'll be ready for Advanced MTV.
Intellegence should cause everyone to question Gods existence.
Ignorance, frustration, arrogance and piss-poor teachers are the things that will cause schoolchildren to leap all the way to atheism.
Atheism is the end of line for logical thought. One must "know everything" to be a true atheist .. not likely for schoolchildren. The arrogance is their, the knowledge and experence sadly lacking.
Most schoolchildren "become atheists" just to rebel and piss off Mom and Dad.
