No disagreement, but many of these people are also desperate for an "answer" and are filling the void with whatever nonsense other people provide social proof for. If no one else believed it, and no one told you about it as a child, don't you think it'd sound just a tad ridiculous? I was indoctrinated young, and it took a lot of encounters with the truth to allow me to think for myself and decide that I am an atheist.
It sounds like you're a believer, and that's fine -- I know that YOU personally are the RIGHT kind of believer, if that's what you are, because of WHO you are. However, many Christians cause a lot of issues overall (ridiculous laws, making people feel dirty for normal things, judgment, hypocrisy, indoctrination of the young, cult-like behavior, child molestation, etc, etc). And don't even get me started on the people who blow themselves up for their religion (sigh). It's just such a damn mess, all for a fairy tale.
