I don't really think Atheism is a fad. Most people I know who say that they are athiests actually just don't care. I firmly belive that there is no higher power. I'm 16, my father is pretty christian, but my mom is a firm atheist too.

The thing about most teenagers today is that they think it's cool to "not care" about anything. The mindless, bubblebrained twits who don't have their own thoughts except for what kind of pizza they like. That's the kind of people that use atheism as a fad.

However, intelligent young folks, (like me and my friends, the geeks) actually do research on such topics, care about what we're speaking about and have debates. It's not a fad for us, it's part of our being.
