Are atheists brainwashed?

[Dr Redthumb]

This is so absurdly inaccurate it beggars belief. Most atheists I know, myself included, come from religious backgrounds where attempts were made from an early age to force them to capitulate to belief in religious dogma. Far from allowing themselves to be indoctrinated to the beliefs of another they have fought their whole life against precisely this, usually in solitude, preferring to think for themselves rather than blindly accept what they are told.
