In my experience most atheists don't believe in a higher being or deity because it is irrational to them. They base their conclusions on reduction. If one can't see, hear, smell, touch, taste, or measure something in some fashion or another then it does not exist unless proven otherwise. Most (not all) of them believe in the concept of proof, but also see debunking something and the absense of evidence for something as the same thing, which in my eyes is flawed logic.... Humans are not all knowing so we cant not rule out things in which we have not proven to be false.
Personaly I just cant fathom how the universe, life, and consciousness came to light from nothing. I mean try convincing someone that a scale model of our solar system made itself, they would think you' were stupid. However when looking at the real thing it's hard for many people to even consider that any form of intelligence could of had a hand in the formation of it.
Whether God from the Bible is true or not is isn't too important, what's important is to be open to the possibility that there could be a vastly higher intelect out there that has the knowledge and capability to create something like matter, the laws of physics, and the universe in general. Anyway, I'll leave it at that since I kind of went on a mini tangent. Gamespot really isn't the place to be discussing topics like this anyway :P
