What is the Real Cause of Atheism?

A few weeks ago a friend of mine posted some really good thoughts on a quotation I had heard many times before.

The quotation was, "The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today are Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."

Here are my own thoughts:

I disagree with this statement. There is no doubt that Christians need to step it up when it comes to living holy and loving lives. However, to claim this as ones reason for disbelieving in God is utter foolishness. We deny God not because of others, rather because we are self-centered, self-glorifying, and filled with hatred toward the one true God who created us.
