It is a religion that does away, quite nicely with God. There is no need for one, as it elevates man to the highest being on the food chain. Atheism, Communism, Marxism, socialism, all use it to re-educate the young, making them much more pliable to the aims of the State. Look at the recent history and tell me it hasn't done its job effectively. Without God, the State can declare what is moral and what is immoral. Man without God's Word to guide him, is just another animal, deciding to father children without caring for them,(welfare) killing them if it pleases him,(abortion on demand)(killing the elderly) experimenting on them (some educational programs) and on and on. It pretends at first to be a system to help the poor, but it quickly turns into a beast bullying and devouring its own people

No, it doesn't. There is no need for one, as it elevates man to the highest being on the food chain.

Atheism is not a political system. Whether or not communism and marxism try to "use" evolution as part of their political system has no bearing on the truth value of evolution; evolution is not a political system, therefore attempting to turn it into one is muisusing it.

Either you've never studied evolution, or you're a liar.

I agree with you assertions about morality and society. Certainly, without being anchored in God's law, society's laws become nothiing more than a guide to what is expedient for the state.

However, evolution does not "do away" with God. Evolution doesn't "elevate" man, either. Evolution is a theory used to explain what is found in the geological and fossil record. Those may exist who use evolution to support their particular world view, but there are also those who use faith to support a twisted, immoral world view, as well.

I am a Christian, an ordained Episcopal minister, a scientist--I find no reason not to believe in God and accept the theory of evolution.

The Bible was not written to answer scientific questions such as how the earth was made. The Bible was written to explain man's relationship and dependence on God. The two have nothing to do with one another.

The state with God does not have a good track record either.
