Is contemporary atheism sufficient to sustain a civilisation?

[abaris]

Most of human history has been unfair especially in theocracies so it is doing at least as good as those.

Sorry, but that's a shit argument and often heard before. Others did it too, so it's OK then. It's not doing good for the population at large and that's the only thing I take offence with. Presenting it as an example of a working society. In fact, China represents the worst of both worlds. Unchained capitalism and an oppressive political system.
