Atheism is the philosophical view which rejects the existence of  god. Since there is no scientific evidence of  the existence of  god or any supernatural being, atheism is based on  rational thinking. However, most people are conditioned by society to believe that praying to God will solve many of their problems.

Most babies are born without any religious beliefs, they do not know of  any “God” . As they grow older, in many countries they learn their religious beliefs from their family members and society.  Some children grow up and question the validity of  the beliefs they have been taught, others continue to blindly follow tradition. They may or may not continue to believe in the religious beliefs of  their parents.

Though many people consider atheist or agnostic people immoral, there is enough evidence to show that religion is not an indicator of  morality. In the Scandinavian countries, a very large percentage of  the population is agnostic, but these countries have the highest living standards and lowest corruption levels.
