Those with Eyes to See (Revised)

Young people are more open than old people to atheism, but we don’t find atheism growing. As people mature, they come to understand the importance of things that seemed trivial or puzzling.  They see connections that were obscure to them.  They acquire depth, perspective, and balance.  They become less idealistic and more realistic. They come to value such things as orderliness, stability, security, and tradition – Keith Burgess-Jackson

Why do some see God while others do not?  Can you do justice to this question while remaining charitable (i.e. without insulting the intelligence and character of the theist or atheist)?

Some who see:

Peter Hitchens (Journalist)

Antony Flew (Philosopher)

Anne Rice (Novelist)

Nina Hagen (German singer/songwriter)

Peter Steele (Musician, Type O Negative)

John Nolte (blogger and screenwriter)
