Only if the person wishes to persuade others of his assertion.

Although you would not be welcome to, you could come here and tell
us you were certain there was a god. If you did i would just shrug my
shoulders, keep my thoughts about you to myself and move on.

If on the other hand you came here demanding that we share your
belief, or attack us in some way for not sharing it and did not
support your assertion with any evidence I would also just shrug
my shoulders, keep my thoughts about you to myself and move on
to the next post.

Check the prefix a- to be found in any good disctionary

If you do not like the word 'atheist' then by all means just call us
people who are not theist. A theist is a person who believes in the
existence of gods. We have no such beliefs

Better still just call us 'normal' people. After all we are not born
theist, it is character flaw that is usually adopted in adolescence
and in my country the practising theists are in a small minority
anyway making it an abberant (ie not normal) behavoir

The person making a negative claim cannot logically prove nonexistence. 
To know that a X does not exist would require a perfect knowledge of all things.

Why do you want to know?
Are you going to Mars to try to convert them?

Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream 
up a God superior to themselves. Most 
Gods have the manners and morals of a

Why must there be only one reason?

Other possibilities:
1. The voices in your head told you to go.
2. To build a launch platform to go farther.
3. To get what one already knows to be there.
4. Pride ... I was first!
5. George Mallory: Because it's there.
6. To live in 0.38 g because 1.0 g has been soooo done.

Ask here if you want more reasons:
