Personal and consistent convinced atheism is untenable.
"...[A]s the knowledge of God can easily be gained from the contemplation of nature and the life of the soul, it will not be possible permanently to adhere to an honest and positive conviction of the non-existence of God.
[Therefore...]
"An inculpable and invincible ignorance regarding the existence of God is not possible for a long time in a normal, grown-up person, in view of the facility of the natural knowledge of God attested in Holy Writ and in Tradition. Cf. Rom 1:20; ita ut sint inexcusabiles." Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, Dr. Ludwig Ott, p.16
A life-long avowed atheist is, therefore, most certainly a dishonest man, guilty of denying, and at least of avoiding, the truth.
