When/ how did you become an atheist?

Well said. If Jesus existed today, not 2000 years ago, no one would believe he was the son of God or that His God was the one and only true God any more than they would believe P&T as Sons of God.

We ain't alone, of course - there are our fellow great apes, many dolphins and whales and the crow and parrot families of birds. We are special because we are the dominant species on this planet - we control a large part of the biosphere of our planet and that makes us special. Of course we aren't somehow "inherently' special - we are special by the efforts of 6 million years of our ancestors. We are higher thinking animals because we have mastered language and science - two things most other have probably not [Dolphins and whales sing, but whether they have language capable of abstract thought is unclear].
