First of all, it's a belief, making damn statements about how God doesn't exist is stupid, because it's a belief and we can believe in anything and we don't know everything, barely a percent, we're just humans. Okay?

| More than half, but I'm not judging. I'm fine with religious people killing each other. |

"its a belief that caused half of the wars that ever existed."
"Well, yes, we do need to name more, because while clearly there were wars that had religion as the prime cause, an objective look at history reveals that those killed in the name of religion have, in fact, been a tiny fraction in the bloody history of human conflict. In their recently published book, "Encyclopedia of Wars," authors Charles Phillips and Alan Axelrod document the history of recorded warfare, and from their list of 1763 wars only 123 have been classified to involve a religious cause, accounting for less than 7 percent of all wars and less than 2 percent of all people killed in warfare. While, for example, it is estimated that approximately one to three million people were tragically killed in the Crusades, and perhaps 3,000 in the Inquisition, nearly 35 million soldiers and civilians died in the senseless, and secular, slaughter of World War 1 alone."

| It's not religion that caused wars, but rather the different ideals that people stand for. |

Fair enough, but that argument could be used for any wars declared in the name of Atheism. Oh, wait, there aren't any.
I have 2 questions for you though: 1.what about the Inquisitions? 2.What religion are you anyway?
P.S. Stalin was driven by his idea of state/personal power, not by any disbelief in a god. P.S.S. Hitl,er wasn't an atheist. |

@King Then we all agree, religon and atheism don't cause wars... And guys, both are really "out there". I am christian, and I'm saying the bible is "out-there" by human standards.
Christianity: Faith in a God, no scientific "proof" (Which I believe because evolution has been claimed to be made by humans... I don't trust humans, I have faith in God.)
Atheism: Assume life formed on this planet with a 1/10^-30 (Basically 0%) chance of happening, and it forms with 100% left-handed amino acids, which is freaking virtually impossible. |

...pardon? 'Made'? In what sense?

No. Atheism is not the 'belief' in evolution, it's not the 'belief' in the big bang and it's not the belief in the flying spaghetti monster. Atheism is simply the lack of belief in God(s). Whether or not atheists are, in general, more scientifically literate than your average Christian is a different debate altogether.
-how exactly did you calculate that 'chance'? Whether or not it's unlikely is irrelevant, as it evidently *did*
on a separate note, what the hell are you talking about? Amino acids?

Humanity made the theory of Evolution. Ir is, still infact, a theory.
"No. Atheism is not the 'belief' in evolution, it's not the 'belief' in the big bang and it's not the belief in the flying spaghetti monster. Atheism is simply the lack of belief in God(s).

I've seen extimates up in the 80% range of atheist that believe in evolution. And you seem to be totally illiterate due to the fact you can read I never said "100% of atheist believe in Evolution." And anyways, the "u cant reed" insult tends to be idiotic flamebait.
"-how exactly did you calculate that 'chance'? Whether or not it's unlikely is irrelevant, as it evidently *did*"
Hm well. You have a pool of amino acids your "primordial soup", full of left and right handed amino acids. Somehow it managed to create a life form from this pool of various amino acids that is 100% left handed.
