What do atheists have to offer that will launch us off our pad of ignorance?
Yeah, and 90% of the scientific and tech advance has been done ever since Xtianity lost his power grip over the western world. You forget (or choose to forget) that.
What do we have to offer? Not much, atheism isn't a worldview, but in contrast with religious beliefs, at least we are not poisoning our brains with delusion.
