Here is my deal being raised the way I was, I guess, everything I see makes me believe there is a God, I just want to know how they (an atheist) can see it too and not believe the same thing
Ok let me break it down. You were programmed by Mormonism. It altered your perception or model of your world. We all have our own unique model of how we view the world it helps us make sence of the world. Beliefs were formed by experiences. A belief is something that feels real.
Someone making a statement "God is real" gets accepted or rejected. If accepted it alters your model regardless if its real or not. You accept everything you see that conforms to your beliefs everything that goes against them get filtered or blocked out. Your beliefs are "God exists" "Mormonism is the truth" An atheist was programmed to believe god doesnt exist there model is on beliefs that "God doesnt exist" "Religion is bullshit"
The difference is atheists and scientists demand evidence or they refuse to believe it. Religious people rely on blind faith they take a guess it exists because someone told them this is how things are. You cant disprove if something exists. But you can prove if something does exist. Where is proof that the mormon god exists?
IIN that atheism really annoys me

Perfectly worded.
You "believe" there is a God.
You do not know there is a God.
Hence the term "Faith".
It doesn't take faith to know something that is provable.
