It's not exactly like that. That only applies if the child has a father in the first place. Believe what you will, but there was never anyone there for me to turn my back on. Physics is science and the facts that exist can and have been proven empirically. It doesn't matter if I get it or not. With so many faiths how can one choose based off of a text? Are the religious experiences of those who have absolutely no faith in Jesus and never will any less profound and life changing? The Christian god is a "jealous God." He would attribute the miracles of any other god to he who dwells at the center of the Earth.

It wasn't a rough patch, or a nadir in my life that killed my faith. It was my logical choice based off of observations. I don't have time to shop around for a God. I WOULD need a direct experience to believe so I'll just keep on non-believing until he touches my life and fills the huge, gaping hole in my heart. You keep on with your beliefs, and we can live in harmony expressing our own opinions on matters we have absolutely no say in or real knowledge of until we find truth in death.
