I think a five's inclination to believe or not rests on whether the concept makes SENSE to the individual. As many of the others have already stated, atheism isn't just "a five thing." I think you'll find two basic flavors no matter what type you question.

If it seems as though there are more atheistic fives, perhaps it is because there many who cannot understand or make sense of the concept. For those who are more scientific, making a leap of faith can be difficult when accuracy of fact is in question.

: I truly believe most atheists are fives. They think their way through life so much - they don't allow any hope in it.
: They literally 'think' all hope away.
: Leaving nothing but an uncomfortable void to feel emptiness in.
: This is a terrible feeling.
: I don't know how people can keep living like this for long.
: Doesn't it give anyone such bleak sad outlook on life - to be so pessimistic like that?
: Without my belief in God - I would have no hope in life. I would have such a hard time getting out from down under and beneath - I most likely would have been dead a long time ago.
: Whenever another dream goal of mine gets crushed by harsh cold real life finite reality not being able to happen - I get so depressed by it- the only thing that lifts me up out of it is to keep on believing and living for God - in hopes and confidence in belief that He is the real purpose why I am living for in the first place - as opposed to my ego-self.
: Life is so treacherous and difficult sometimes realistically speaking- it is only hope for the future to become/turn out better that's what keeps me staying alive, up and going.
: Reality is plain, cold, harsh and bleak.
: Hope is warm, comfortable, soft, soothing, enlightening, enticing, uplifting.
: I don't know how people can live without this.
