Were any other atheists (raised theist) aware of being an atheist, before they even knew what one was?

Sense this makes - 100% sense this makes to theists - 0%.

God doesn't send anyone to hell. We are born ALREADY spiritually dead in our trespasses and sins through the Adamic sin nature, cut off from God spiritually and on our way to hell ALREADY - right from birth. That's why Jesus had to die for us to be our Saviour but we are not automatically saved unless we obey Him and get born again (John 3:3) not of Adam again, but of God next time (John 1:12 & 13) In the meantime btw the Bible says that God doesn't hear sinners He only hears those who worship Him and do His will (John 9: 31) Not only do atheists not worship God or do His will, they don't even believe in Him, so what would you expect?

God loves those who love Him according to His Word (Proverbs 8:17 and John 14:21, etc).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
