modern psychology does not know the causes of many illnesses like multiple personality disorder and scitzophernia. and you did not answer my question about the moon or dinosaurs.

That's one of the theistic claims that atheism rejects without the evidence to support it.

Not really. Atheism is the null position of "you make the claim, now support it and we'll let you know". If the three western religions get the most attention, it's the fault of the followers of those religions.

Not sure what you're saying here. If you're saying that atheism doesn't believe in nothing, then you're correct. I can't unpack the rest of what you said.
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.'

atheism cannot explain how the earth was formed. Atheism also takes sort of an aggressive position i fell that if they were more diplomatic in their approach they would get somewhere But still there are flaws in what they belive scientifically

But it's common sense. Everybody knows the universe couldn't have come from nothing, because we've never observed a universe beginning to exist from nothing, just like we've never observed a Crocoduck.

Because atheism does not try to do that. You're getting it confused with science.

Why did you go to the clearly objective and infallible Wikipedia to tell us what atheism is instead of, say, asking some atheists? I'm sure there's one around the place somewhere.

in what way do atheists critique religion(math and science) nobody is saying those are bad things.

Are you sure you quoted the right post? I don't think I ever mentioned maths and science, at least in the way you reference.

Modern science does not know the difference between schizophrenia and religious belief. Modern science also cannot explain why elephants are larger than the moon and dinosaurs.

Be advised, however, that some of the steps might take you out of your comfort zone, notably the ones about being open and honest and using reliable counter-evidence. But then small is the gate and narrow the road, and only a few find it.
At first I thought 'wow, this is actually not bat shit crazy!' but it went down hill from there.
It would be funny to make a spoof of this, where the well meaning Church of Satan tries to convince a christian to find Lucifer.
Same cheesy pictures and layout, of course.
