Disbelief before Belief

Deepak Chopra calls Atheism"Adolescence of Spiritual Seeking".

This is how all major changes come about.We do not believe in a new idea or thought for a long time.

This is not because we are not convinced, it is more to do with our innate fear of being a part of a change.We do not want to get out our comfortable fixed state which might not be the best in the fear of how much effort will go in the change.
This is true for all that is going on around us we hang on to wrong for long enough for it to become right, knowing very well that right does not exist here.
This happens in faith too! We keep on going on in life disbelieving God because believing in Him meant lot of modifications in our life style.It is like Holding a Tiger By Tail-You can't Go Home Again.Believing in God will take away all the small pleasures we gain by troubling-not caring - not being bothered..., the list is endless of the deeds which we do knowing they are wrong.
