It is my opinion that reason and religion cannot be reconciled simply because religous belief requires faith.Faith is as unreasonable as anything and asks that you suspend your reason and take the bible and all its stories as true based on their own testimony.A true atheist is a thinker and asks why,we or at least I am not satisfied with the answer that there are things that we cannot know till we get to heaven etc.That in my eyes is not an answer,instead it seems more like a way to get around those things that can't be answered by their scriptures.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
