C. S. Lewis used to be an atheist. He finally concluded, and documents his reasons, that it is the most logically unsupportable position to the point that he did not believe there was really any such thing as an atheist, no matter how much someone would claim to be one.

I would rather be a trash collector in Heaven, than on the Board of Directors in Hell. Jus' my opinion.
I think a lot of people who call themselves atheist are basically rejecting the religious tradition of their childhood, and often that is quite understandable.

21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,...Ro:1-19-22
