psychology of atheism?

Hey atheists here, I just found a paper here : http://www.leaderu.com/truth/1truth12.html. the paper discusses what are the factors that causes one to become an atheist. Although I don't generally agree because it's a free choice but the author got some point in the paper. What can you say?

here's one of the parts:
"Besides abuse, rejection, or cowardice, one way in which a father can be seriously defective is simply by not being there. Many children, of course, interpret death of their father as a kind of betrayal or an act of desertion. In this respect it is remarkable that the pattern of a dead father is so common in the lives of many prominent atheists."
