There is a common excuse that ‘You cant choose what you believe’… this is self delusion.
In reality we all choose to believe what we do, it just a matter of what moves us.
Some of us are more objective than others … yet being human, psychology still plays a massive roll.
We kid ourselves if we think we are without personal prejudice.

The important thing to appreciate is that many people choose to be atheists because they seek to pretend there are no morals by which they are duty bound.

They keep chanting to themselves… “There is no God”.
