Eph 2:3 KJV - Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. | Eph 6:4 KJV - And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. | All Christians are atheists prior to believing, except if inherited through good Christian family. Parents are a definite reflection for their children. They provide an example to follow, and if a; strong, loving, and wise upbringing, may also help overcome common life evil temptations later in the teens and beyond. | The atheist stands in the middle zone, wanting not to choose either side.
