Dear lord... what do you think about believing that all the variation of this world came from random chance mutations that just happened to be in the right place and just happened to have a selection pressure to initiate their survival at just the right time? Atheism is a religion too you know, you believe that there is no God. Evolution is a theory which is not prooven yet by science and has countless flaws and holes. Science and religion compliment each other and are not a detriment to each other so again please enough with the ignorance. Furthermore any type of faith should have NO effect on a country's well being. At the time of the cold war, democratic nations were largely practicing Christians while communists were largely atheist. Guess which ideology and mindset became known as the norm/''western''?
