I came across this a short while ago. I left the authors name at the top. Very good read to get a better understanding as to why people deny their Creator.
Christ's Disciple

Atheists like to say, โI donโt believe because thereโs no evidence.โ But thatโs just the outer skin. Peel it back, and the real motives start to show.
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ญ: Wounds
Some carry scars from church betrayal or unanswered prayers. Pain hardens into armour, and rejecting God feels safer than risking disappointment again. But shutting Him out never truly heals the wound, it just leaves it buried and festering.
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ฎ: Moral Posturing
They cherry-pick verses they dislike... judgment, warfare, hell, and pretend thatโs the whole Bible, while conveniently ignoring the far greater weight of passages that teach love, mercy, peace, forgiveness, and justice.
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ฏ: More Moral Posturing
The same events, Crusades, Inquisitions, witch trials, get shouted on repeat, as if they define all of Christian history. Yet the hospitals, charities, schools, and universities birthed by faith are ignored. Evil is magnified, good erased. Itโs not honest critique, itโs selective outrage.
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ฐ: Self-indulgence
Surrendering to Christ means laying down certain habits, desires, and comforts that feel too good to part with. For many, itโs easier to dismiss God entirely than to face the cost of change. Denial feels safer than surrender, even if it leaves them empty.
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ฑ: Control
If God exists, then self-rule ends. Life isnโt ours to define, because Someone higher gets the final word. That thought doesnโt sit well, so they cling to autonomy, choosing to play god over bowing to God.
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ฒ: Arrogance & Condescension
They see themselves as smarter, more enlightened, and too โrationalโ to stoop to faith. Looking down on believers is easier than admitting they might be wrong
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ณ: Fear of Ridicule
Belief gets branded as โintellectual suicide.โ Mocking believers is safer than risking mockery yourself. Pride shields the ego, even if it means rejecting truth to stay in step with the crowd.
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ด: Fear of judgement
If God is real, then guilt is real, and so is accountability. Facing the Judge means facing the verdict. For many, it feels easier to deny His existence than confront their own conscience.
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ต: Comfort of Relativism
โMy truth, your truthโ keeps life comfortable, where nothing is absolute and consequences feel optional. But if God is real, truth isnโt flexible, itโs binding, unchanging, and eternal. Relativism offers ease, but only by escaping reality.
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ญ๐ฌ: Defiance
At the core, unbelief isnโt usually โI canโt believeโ, itโs โI wonโt.โ The mind hides behind โno evidence,โ but the heart already decided โno Lord.โ Itโs less about lack of proof and more about refusal to bow.
In the end, unbelief isnโt just about missing evidence. Itโs layers, excuses stacked on wounds, pride, and fear. Peel them back, and the core is revealed: a heart that doesnโt want God to be God. The more you peel, the more the tears flow, of sadness, hurt, and stubbornness.
Yet Godโs response is not only judgment but compassion. He draws near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and promises to replace the heart of stone with a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26). He doesnโt expose, He restores.
