Are all these religious problems caused by atheists?
If atheism is true then religion was created by atheists to control the gullible. It's all our fault!

I think half of the world leaders claiming they believe in god are actually atheists, including the Pope.

ALL religious problems I.E tension between Muslims and Christians throughout history is to blame on religion itself. It enslaves people, it twists people into hating others who are different from them I.E the crusades as a prime example.
Religion has also regressed humanity's knowledge. The Greeks knew about the Earth bring round and yet later on in the 12th century (Europe) and many years of dogma enslavement, and we get the dark ages

Considering that religion probably comes from funerary rites, I'd say no. Even neanderthals used to bury their dead with tools for the next life. After all people would have believed in that stuff on some level to put those grave goods in with the body otherwise they would have kept that stuff for the here and now.

who ever told you that needs to go back to school and so do you if you believe that.
FYI: the theists are the gullible ones, they are the ones following the guidelines of a fairy tale that was created by other THEISTS not ATHEISTS. It would'nt benefit us anyways, we would have benefited more if religion wasnt around at all. There wouldnt be as many headaches

That's a very naive view of the world and does not take into consideration how most religions came into being.
Most religions are built upon generation upon generation of oral histories, legends, folklore, and -- more often than not -- the religions that came before it.
There are only a handful of cases of truly manufactured religions in the world (ahem, Scientology).....

Why does it matter. Why get worked all up about an issue that really doesn't matter. Anyway it's all fake so have nothing to worry about.
I myself believe in moral. If i live my life out as a good person, I know i will die happy. (That is just my preference. Some will die happy with the thought that they molested or raped women and children.)

How do you figure?
Someone can't tell a lie and simultaneously believe what they're saying?
Religion used to be the one true form of political power in the world; and politicians tell lies that they believe to be true all the time.

If families found out their little ones have been persons, no longer purely extensions of themselves, with minds of their very own, and additionally no longer inevitably like themselves in any respect, of their procedures, of their dispositions, and then if the kinfolk ought to advance the youngster and enable them to flow, and understand the youngster might flow opposite to their very own way, the kinfolk ought to no longer make investments so heavily of their little ones being clones of themselves. i think of this is clean that who/what's drawing close the earth are atheists. people who go with 'little ones', ought to make peace with that in the event that they are 'religious' till now they have 'little ones'.

How you came to that conclusion is well beyond me.
Time to do some reading on atheism and it's comparison to evolution I think.
