You think most of us atheist weren't religious at first? You think most of us didn't pray and we wanted to believe? We just stopped lying to ourselves and opened eyes and ears to proven science and history. God doesn't talk to anyone. In the Bible you see how God talks to people so anything else would just be your own mind making it up.
Yes most atheist were subscribed to an idea of God. I was an atheist once too. I was raised Catholic, became atheist and now I’m a Christian.
Religious =/= having a relationship with God.
Science does not disprove God at all.
I have yet to hear an external voice of God if I am honest with you. I know one person who has in my personal life. That being said God can talk to you in other forms than just an external force.
If you don’t mind me asking you. What made you an atheist?
