Is contemporary atheism sufficient to sustain a civilisation?

RE: Is contemporary atheism sufficient to sustain a civilisation?
Atheism is too broad a term. You could be a negative , hateful , mysogonistic old bastard and be an atheist. If you want to argue that the cognitive tools promoted by many atheists - skeptism , rational discourse , a rejection of the slave-master mentality , free minds and bodies- then we are on a track to sustainability.
The fact that religion has been a central part of civilization so far , or that China may not be Paradise , does not prove that we can not sustain ourselves without gods. Nor does China provide evidence that we cannot build a better secular world.
Atheism now is a process of humanity growing up and throwing away childish things.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
