In 2012, a Georgetown University study was published indicating that only about 30 percent of those who grow up in an atheist household remain atheists as adults.[1]

Vox Day declared:

...the age at which most people become atheists indicates that it is almost never an intellectual decision, but an emotional one. (This is why most self-identified atheists are angry, bitter, and immature. The anger, bitterness, and immaturity are usually the cause of the atheism, they are not, as many Christians erroneously suppose, the effects.)[2]

The Christian apologist Mariano Grinbank concurs in his essay The Argument for Atheism from Immaturity and writes:

It is widely known that some atheists rejected God in their childhood, based on child like reasons, have not matured beyond these childish notions and thus, maintain childish-emotional reactions toward the idea of God.[3]

In the United States, 70% of individuals raised by atheist parents abandon their atheism (For more information please see: Atheism has a lower retention rate compared to other worldviews).[4]

The popular YouTube Christian Shockofgod received many hostile responses from YouTube atheists when he asked for proof and evidence that atheism is true and they could not provide any.[5]
