You do realize, that atheism and evolution are 2 different things, right? And that 1,2 billion catholics, for example, accept evolution despite also believing in 3-headed Tooth Fairy? Sigh... Who am I kidding - you probably don't.
What drives one to evolution? Evidence of gradually transforming life-forms, spanning billions of years.
What drives one to atheism? Lack of evidence of the existence of any form of magic - including gods - combined with demonstrable utter nincompoopery of believers. If there was a god - why would it make its most devout and vocal followers semi-retarded? Why would it bless non-believers with enough intelligence to discover and harvest amazing forces of nature, using reason and not faith, in order to better humanity, while all the deeply religious people ever do is beg for miracles to fall down from heaven, which never happens?
