No, that's actually wrong. We aren't saying we don't need a God, we are saying there IS NO god. There's a big difference. Whether we need one or not is irrelevant. If there is a god, he's not doing such a hot job anyway. Atheism is not one step down that 'road' as you call it, we think of it as our responsibility alone to protect the planet. Not some invisible deity in the sky. Most of us think we are just as important as everything else on earth, no better, no worse.
