Before renaissance, the existence of God was widely accepted. The bare concept that real atheism existed was questioned. People even believed that babies were born with the belief in God.

THEISTS REACTION TO A STRESSFUL LIFE EVENT
An argument that true atheism exists is the reaction to people in front of a stressful, difficult life event life a critical illness, or death. Even hardcore atheists are quick to fall into prayers to implore a deity to save or help in the situation.
