I have heard of survivors becoming atheists, because the Holocaust was made possible. Or did your athiest beliefs stem from non-creationalist evolution theories?
Welcome, by the way  Wink

My parents were survivors but were not quite atheists themselves. They tried to continue to be a version of religious (we went to shul on high holidays, I was bar mitzvahed, etc) but the Shoah took its toll on spiritual as well as material. I think my father lost any faith after my mother died and mother died too early for me to know her enough to have much insight into her thoughts. I learned a few Yiddish words, some traditions and an understanding that I am an outsider (a fear of being rounded up or chased away).
I was always confused by the concept of a deity and feel better off (although that is a sliding scale) without. I like evolution - seems to make sense.

Thank you for the welcome and Good Pesach
