Because atheist see it as stupidity that interferes with the world and people's lives. So as a result, they can't avoid it.
Religion is the core of people's lives.
People think that they know at least a little of the future. Why? Because all kinds of things that they do produce results almost exactly like they were thinking.
People don't really know any of the future? Why? Because they aren't smart enough. The fact that they have failures shows that they don't know the future.
Way down deep in their minds, people all know that they don't know anything at all about the future. This is why they all have religion, whatever that religion might be. Religion protects them (they think) from the future that they realize they don't really know anything about.
Atheists simply want to avoid the idea that they don't know about their future. That's the real reason why they avoid religion. They want to think that they are in control of their lives.
If atheists were in any kind of control of their lives the way they wanted, they would make themselves be healthy enough so they would never die.
Atheists, like all others, have no control over their life, even when it seems like they do. And their delusion that suggests that pushing religion out of their lives is going to change things, is a complete lie.
People want to settle down have children buy a home and watch there children grow up..
And most people do this action so they knew there future all along..LIKE MOST PEOPLE DO
..No most atheist don't believe in gods unless you can prove it to be so..END OF.
So stop making things up what atheist think..Your thinking is NUTS..
Wrong. The universe is set so that the things that people think often work out. But the fact that things don't work out shows that people are simply riding a wave without really knowing what will happen. Consider Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those people knew what they were going to do that day, and suddenly they were gone.
Atheists are simply people who have a dream that they try to believe in. Then they convince themselves that they believe it, when way down deep they know that they don't.
Like all of the universe (maybe even multiverse, who knows?), and with absolutely all things - very very big to very very small, there is a mix going on here: some part (rules, laws) are determined (fixed), other parts (rules, laws) are open (non-deterministic; open-ended). It is a fantastical interaction between chance and determinism, unlike anything the universe has ever seen. There is not "the future" only possible futures. What I like best though, is that everyone can contribute a small part to the possible future they would like to see, and by so-doing, have an influence on the possible realization of that specific future. And even that "specific future" is itself only a moment in time and not permanently fixed in the possible (even further down the line) next outcome it might have.
You are wrong. ALL laws and things are determined and fixed. There is no such thing as chance. There is only ignorance of the operations of the universe because of our extremely limited abilities.
For example. When a leaf on a tree is swaying and turning in the breeze, why is it moving as it is? There are billions of molecules of air bumping against the leaf (and each other) in ways that make the leaf move. There are billions of tiny heat energy waves playing on the molecules of air and on the leaf in billions of patterns. How many of these molecules and heat waves can we track to determine how they are working on the leaf and why they are working like they are? Exactly zero! Yet they all work perfectly, according to fixed laws of the universe. Everything in the universe works the same - cause and effect. Yet we understand and track such a small amount of it that we really don't understand the whys and wherefores of anything.
The closest we come to chance is when God goes back to the beginning, and tweaks some of the way He set up cause and effect laws in creation. And He does this to match the faith that people have in Him (or against Him), all according to the purposes He has for making the universe in the first place.
Up for some watermelon, buddy?
