That's because in your narrow world view, a non-Christian equates to an Atheist.

No. It's because you seem to be a materialist. And to the point that you ridicule people who aren't as long as they aren't Muslim.

Why do you think it is biological?

Because he would need a double set of chromosomes for the upkeep of the biochemical processes in his body.
Especially, in the absence of an Y-Chromosome (which comes from the father) he would become a woman and not a man (more exactly a woman with Turner-Syndrome)

Would be different if one would interpret it in a more spiritual sense, i.e. Josepph did father Jesus, but somewhen during Marys pregnancy god implantet his odem upon the fetus.
But obviously most christians (and you as well) seem to view the virgin birth in a literal sense, i.e. Mary did never sleep with a man (Joseph or otherwise) when she became pregnant with Jeshua (but instead had some kind of dream sex wih an immaterial divine being)

Typical Christian generosity of spirit.

Yeeeeah. If you could stop saying that you're not an atheist but saying everything that atheists say that would be great. Thanks.

I don't think she had dream sex. A dream would imply that it didn't happen anyway. As elok said, ahe was a virgin. That means she did not have sex. It's pretty ridiculous to assume that God has sex. The bible doesn't say that and it's not part of mainstream tradition. It is not a Trinitarian Christian believe.

As for biology, the intereting questions (if one believed in the virgin birth) would also be:
What does god DNA look like, after all half of Jesus Genome would be of divine origin.

And did Mary have an orgasm when the holy spirit penetrated her?
Was it painful?
And did she have any problems with Jesus birth, due to her Hymen still being intact?

Also, did the holy spirit repair her Hymen after Jesus birth?
After all, (in all cultures where it plays a role) the test for virginity would be, whether the womans hymen still is intact or not

God probably copied the DNA from a Roman soldier's sperm and added it to the DNA of one of Mary's eggs

Why is it hard for atheists to understand "Virgin Birth."

Darth Vader!

Nope. I don't consider Jews or Muslims atheists. They don't talk like an atheist. Next.

What about Hindus or Buddhists, Unitarian Universalists or followers of the Aesir?

[Kidlicious]

Most Universalists are actually New Age or Hindu.

And you consider Hindus and/or adherents to New Age religions to be Atheists, I assume?

Well I know a New Age Atheist, but it depends on the individual. New Age is anti-Christian so it gets confusing.

All new age adherents I know don't care about christians as long as chritians don't try to convert them.
Actually, as you seem to also count Unitarian Universalists as "New Age", these actually welcome everyone (and don't actually try to convert, as they see in each religion a tool for improvng yourself, so they respect the diversity of the religious landscape and just promote tolerance (for other religious beliefs))
