Being somewhat skeptic myself in my younger years and coming closer to God through my relationship with my girlfriend (who isn't even a believer herself)... I just recently came up with a hypothesis why so many Math and CS people were famously Atheist.
I grew closer to God through just observing the natural world, and my natural relationship (affection, friendship, etc.).
My hypothesis is that so many of these (incredibly genius, and logical) people maybe dug a little too deep into man-made reality. Numbers, computers, etc. Everything that goes through a processor is the result of a human invention. It's easy to think you are God, or at the very least, see YOUR creation and totally discredit and influence of God as a result. However if you just look away from the pixels or numbers for a second. The seemingly random, yet beautiful grain, in wood. Or the way tree leaves rustle in the wind.. etc etc, you can see an immense beauty and goodness, not possible without a divine, all-giving power.
No malice on my end towards Atheists, just my opinion (faith) <3
