No offence, but it doesn't matter at all what you think, only what you can demonstrate. You cannot demonstrate that I made a choice. I was raised without religion, and as a result I never believed. I didn't choose that. I had no say. But even now that I do have a say, I cannot simply decide that lack of evidence is not important and that I will now be a Christian. Nor can a Christian just suddenly decide that they will no longer believe. For them, either lack of evidence is not an issue or they don't believe there is no evidence. Whichever it is, they cannot be said to have made a real choice between being a Christian or an atheist. If you disagree, then you should be able to become a believer right now.
