Plain disagree.
True, you can not come to believe in god on your own. Neither can god make you believe on his own. You can still pray for it.
Mother Teresa famously didn't believed in God's existence for decades. She still didn't became an atheist.
> No one can make a decision to believe
Yes, you can't. You can make the decision to search however.
This is what it's like to be a strong atheist.
> Mother Teresa famously didn't believed in God's existence for decades. She still didn't became an atheist.
She did become a turturer of the most vulnerable people though. So... yea, I guess that's another type of argument against faith.
You just can't reason about the cause of reasoning, and the origin of the concept of cause and effect. You can dispute if that origin is more like a person that doesn't care about anything, a person that wants a relationship with you (Christianity/Judaism), a fundamental core concept (pantheism) or randomness (evolutionist).
You simply can't just know that. That's why it is a choice.
> She did become a turturer
What?
Ok, I've found a single article by the Guardian about a claim being filed is there any source about whether that is true?
You either missed the point entirely or are trying to obfuscate the issue. The cause of reason has no bearing at all. Reason and understanding are real things. Actually knowing something means you can't choose to believe the opposite. I can't choose to believe something I know is false. I can't choose to believe the sky is pink, or that rocks are soft, etc. That's nonsense.

She was a horrible horrible person.
The cause of reason is what we call God. What you think that is, is very disputed, like I wrote in my previous comment.
When you think your God exists in the same way that the sky has a color, then I can assure you, that God doesn't exist. Atheists often take pride in rejecting "Gods" that a Christian also rejects and thinks they don't exist.

That article presents multiple positions of that subject, I would probably side more with Leys there. Richness and poverty are not a goal in itself, but all means to an end. The poorest of the poor can have a richer life than a very rich. Mother Teresa was not a medical doctor and never claimed to be. She was treating peoples hearts, not their bodies.
The church doesn't think salvation means to be rich. Actually quite the opposite.
She was prolonging suffering in others because she thought suffering was beautiful. But when she got sick herself she immediately and at great expense stopped her own suffering.
That's not choice though. I can't become a believer in god anymore than I can sprout wings. I can't just start believing something false. No one can make a decision to believe something on will alone. That's not how brains work.
