"So where did the first atheist come from?"

If you're a creationist, he was created on either the 4th, 5th, or 6th day of creation. If you're an evolutionist, he evolved from his distant ancestor Eoatheist. Eoatheist is either a member of the animal or vegetable family, again depending if you're an evolutionist or a creationist.

Or maybe he/she/it came from disgust at watching two religions squabble.

In all seriousness, my statement was not meant as a logical argument. Common sense, though, requires a designer for each design, a creator for each creation. It takes involved thought and argument to move away from that. I would submit that it is the reason why we have so many creation legends and so few evolution legends--creation is the natural starting point for the human mind. Whether that's by accident or design depends on your worldview.
