Why don't atheists find God?

God does not reveal himself to just anyone. You have to go looking for him.

What an ingenious and horrifically devious ploy!
It says that until you forcibly will yourself to believe in spite of no proof and in spite of evidence to the contrary, you will not find God.
You must deceive yourself to find God! You must believe even though you know there is no God.

This is a mindset that thinks  the illogic of believing without proof is so wrong that it can only be right, because faith is the way to God. You know there's no God but that's just a test of your faith.

And here's the truly cunning part; faith is the highest virtue a Christian can have! It is higher than truth. It is higher than evidence you can see. It is so high that it is never to be questioned!

This is how we get people who believe there were dinosaurs on Noah's Ark, how we get people who believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old, and how we get people who believe that faith is more important than proof.

This is why people vote for the religious party, knowing full well that the religious party will tax the poor and give to the rich,  will cut food stamps, will increase poverty, and will ruin the USA by giving everything to the richest people in the country.
They vote for this party knowing full well that the party will act in a most unChristian manner.
But their faith allows them no choice in how they vote because they have willed themselves into believing that faith must never be questioned, must never be allowed to falter, and all other views must be rejected without thought.

It's fear. Fear of dying and not having an afterlife.
Fear of being responsible for your own life with no God to blame when bad things happen.
Or worse, fear of knowing you could be so much more than you are but crediting God for successes because it means you don't have to strive to be better.
You can thank God when you ace a test, as though your 40 hours of study were nothing.

Faith is nothing more than fear fed denial.

Atheism is a rejection of fear and an acceptance of responsibility for one's own actions.
We don't find God because we're not looking for him. Instead, we're looking for answers.
We question. We don't believe.
