Atheism is the natural state into which we are born.Most scientists feel the very first humans ever to walk the earth lived in Africa, the homeland for all humanity, so that would be where atheism originated, too.theism has always existed and therefore predates any invention of gods of any kind. In earliest times the thought of gods had not yet permeated the human mind. The term would have been meaningless.
