I won't parrot what others have already pointed out, but I do want to point out one quick thing from your original OP. Your point #1 about how atheism leads to the advancement of science is just absurd. You do realize that the founders of Modern Science like Newton, Kepler and Galileo were all believers (Deists) right? As a matter of fact Newton wrote his Principa Mathematica so "others may believe". Other great minds like Einstein were also Deists. C.S. Lewis wrote that "men became scientific because they expected law in nature. They expected law in nature because they believed in a law giver."

These brilliant minds were not "religious" per se, but they were definitely not atheists.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
