Through intelligent reasoning and a logical thought process, I have rationalized atheism:

People fear the unknown. God is an unknown. Man believes himself to be of superior intellect and thus struggles to rationalize his surroundings (At the core of his belief is that everything can be rationalized). Belief in God would be to accept the limitations of man's own reasoning (Which is contrary to his nature), thus shattering his belief system. People who would rather continue to believe that universe can be explained logically become atheists. Those people who accept that man's knowledge of the universe is limited become theists.

I'd be willing to bet that I'm not far off in my assumptions.

(Also, slightly off-topic, but I've always wondered why atheism is most prevalent in non-minorities. I guess, however, that's another topic for another day.)
