They're made by free thought and education. Atheists are generally converts from other religions. Furthermore, with religions like Catholicism that don't believe in birth control, it's no wonder that they're breeding like rabbits. Atheists aren’t born. They’re made by free thought and education.

Do people really believe that an event can take place without a cause? This is totally illogical, madness.

We are not separate species. I was brought up in a Christian family, attending a Catholic school and yet I retain my belief that there is no God. I fail to see how atheism will ever eventually flicker out entirely. Or do I simply have to much hope for the human race that we will not all act the role of "sheep" and believe simply because we have grown up with those around us believing?

Religious people have evolved to produce more children than non-believers, researchers claim, while societies dominated by non-believers are doomed to die out”. Except that this is actually a game of, “survival of the most adapt”. Not “survival of the most fecund”. So unless there actually is a supernatural entity, ready to intervene when resources are exhausted. There will be no hospitable arena in which the “game” can continue. “Atheists, watch out.

Power over the masses. The catholic church rose from the ashes of the Roman empire to continue that control. Why do you think condoms were banned by the pope - more little catholics running around.

No, atheism isn't a religion at all. It's the absence of religion. It literally means 'belief in no god'. So yes, by definition, as an atheist I do not believe in the existence of the Christian god. Nor do I believe in Allah, Krishna, Odin or whatever god people think of. There is no logical reason for a god to exist and no proof of its existence. I'll believe in a god when someone proves he/she/it exists. MarkAngelo: What? No, atheism isn’t a religion at all. It’s the absence of religion. It literally means ‘belief in no god’.
