thats fair i totally agree with you religion is bullshit but why so serious towards my question. what were the properties of the first cell. theres no denying that things would be better with atheism but why can't you answer my question. also what is the origin of the moon. and how did the dinosaurs die. it is well documented that dinosaurs did exist and well that nullifies the bible for me but if atheism is a relationship with reality please explain these things

Not that one has much to do with the other, also I'm not a biologist let alone expert for that question, but let's pretend. So to answer your question, please clarify at what point you start calling an organism a cell. What are your criteria underlying the question?

In fact he will offer the smug atheistic tone that we atheist are smarter and start critiquing fallacies in the holy book which do exist and god is indeed fake ....but I'm just saying its sort of a red herring.

I think you misspoke, atheism doesn't make that assertion. In fact, atheism makes no assertions at all, being the rejection of theistic claims.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

your right i make a mistake. but god did great the earth ex nihilo and atheism does focus mainly on the three western religions does it not. atheism does not believe nothing religion can be replaced with nationalism patriotism egaliartism or in this case science. just because a person is irreligious or secular does not mean they do not subscribe to some ideology

Well the prevailing hypothesis is that organelles are absorbed organisms, so before procaryotic cells, you have a simpler cell with less sophisticated machinery floating around
