No. But the psychology of atheism might well have to talk about the unique negative emotional clusters motivating atheism.

But what motivates it? You still havent defined it. My husband simply not raised with any religion & not interested.

This might be hard to understand if you live in a culture where god-belief is common & feels natural.

But not all cultures have the notion of God as part of the cultural furniture.

that's fine. Not all of them believe in a round earth either. Lots of things can be culturally suppressed.

You seem to think the god idea is universally & eternally relevant. Mightn't it just die out in some cultures as ideas do?
