This is true - but one must consider that scientific progress as far as origin theories and the really gritty physics behind existence are all relatively (or objectively) brand new - as in, current times. These things up to now (one can even take the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson into account) were left mostly to religion. Gods will eventually have no more place to hide.
The demographics are hard to pin down from my brief internet searches, but it appears atheism is on the rise like never before (which is not to say quickly): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism
Perhaps the next evolutionary breakthrough for humans is to grow out of our need for gods. We've eliminated natural selection, after all.
Atheists want to go back to barbarism, but in the end good triumphs evil because all people are not selfish and insensitive.
People see things in a different way and I could say that you are wrong, but I do not want start a fight with ratt.

You're an unbelievably stupid person.
Wild guess; you're an atheist
You started a controversial thread and cannot back up most of the arguements you have started. xfire has stated a valid opinion based on observations of the genuinely ignorant and inflammatory comments you have made. Labeling him an atheist because he disagrees with you does not make you right in any way, it highlights further your own ignorance.
The best news could be that xfire is a Christian, that way you couldn't label him the same way you do others and act all high and mighty about your beliefs.
In fact, you make Christians look bad.

I'm a backslid pentecostal. So, no, I'm not an atheist, and am, in fact, a Christian. Oh, and just FYI, I'm also an nonpracticing ordained minister. And you are unbelievably stupid.
Christmas is mostly about tradition. So the historically incorrect date is not an issue. Like it or not Christmas is probably more about family, friends, love, znd parties than it is about the birth of Jesus.
I think it is a good thing for familes to come together. My personal economic theory is that it is not a boon, but a waste. That is a whole other discussion

This statement literally makes no sense. Without picking it apart, I can count at least three grammatical and syntactic errors that clearly cause it to mean different things than your obvious intended meaning. It is utter "non-sense."
Aside from this, it just continues to prove that you're trying to provoke and offend people. You don't have the first clue what barbarism means, but you use it to stereotype a group of people (atheists) because you know it will be considered inaccurate (at best) or offensive (at worst).
And as far as the supposed intended meaning of the statement (provided you were actually sincere, which you aren't), consider this for a moment:
All religions with some kind of eschatological teaching or a notion of salvation posit that there is something "more meaningful" in the after-life. What we do here on Earth, they say, is insignificant to what awaits, because the rewards or punishment are infinitely more lavish, and extend for eternity, as opposed to the finite time we spend on Earth. The only real point of our corporeal existence is to guarantee ourselves a place in heaven and avoid going to hell.
This is an extremely pessimistic and nihilistic view because everything of significance is yet to come. All the so-called "end of the world" cults take this crap seriously, and many even commit mass suicide because they're obsessed with the idea that there is no point to living. Many terrorists also commit horrific acts of murder based solely on the promise of eternal bliss in the after-life. But even for more level-headed people who just happen to believe in God, the notion that the type of people we become and the way we behave toward others is ultimately insignificant have an extremely negative outlook on human existence.
On the atheist perspective, what we do here & now matters. The atheist perspective is much more conducive to leading a just life because it is not based on fear of eternal damnation or a promise of eternal happiness, but on true notions of right and wrong, justice and injustice.
In other words, atheists don't want to do any such thing, asshole. And theists wouldn't know whether good had triumphed over evil until they were dead, to say nothing of being wholly selfish and callous toward anyone else's salvation while they're obsessed with their own.
xfire - Does this mean you grew up Pentecostal but eventually moved away from that church, kind of like a "Lapse Catholic," someone who is raised Catholic but seldom worships in any kind of formal setting?
To quote the inimitable Kinky Friedman:
"The Jews believe it was Santa Claus that killed Jesus Christ."

I went to college.
Anyone who quotes Kinky Friedman is ok by me.
"Well, I just said that Jesus and I were both Jewish and that neither of us ever had a job, we never had a home, we never married and we traveled around the countryside irritating people."

Quoted for truth.
Of course, there are bad and good people from every demographic, believe structure, etc., etc. But putting everything else aside, what would point more towards a benevolent lifestyle: the idea that everything now is 'virtually' inconsequential for you and your fellow person, or that everything now is all you get, and after there is nothing? At least to me, one philosophy stresses the need to make every moment count for me and those around me. For the other, this isn't that important.
Wow whoda thunk that this thread would go the direction it has!

I do not judge any people, but I see atheism as a matter which is based on egotism.
Christianity despite its shortcomings include some sort of social message.
