Are there any true atheists?
Scripture and human history indicate that everyone possesses an inward knowledge of God. That awareness is built into the Adamic nature, so those claiming atheism suppress the truth. No tribe or people group has ever existed without worship and blood sacrifice, confirming that true atheism is only a veneer.
Les explains that God gave mankind revelation beginning with Adam, and even after Noah and his sons came off the ark, they had a knowledge of God. But within a generation or two, people began to hold down the truth, as Romans 1:18 says. Because God created mankind with a deep knowledge that there is a God, no one is truly without that awareness. Les says people may tell him they are atheists, but he maintains that is just a veneer; they are either trying to convince themselves or others. Deep down, there is no such thing as an atheist, because there is a nagging desire to fill a vacuum that God placed in mankind when He created them. History and archaeology show no group or tribe without some form of worship, and that worship is always associated with a blood sacrifice, going back to how God created mankind with knowledge of the Creator.
