I understand, a bit. However,I'm unable to accept your views are result of your atheism.With respect,they are not.Atheism does not infer any belief or ideology,it's merely the absence of a belief in god(s).
The anthropologist in ME views such perceptions of religion as ignorant and simplistic. No offence. I guess we need to agree to differ.
