Now, as for your statistic about there being less crime when the U.S was devoutly Christian- you need real studies to support this. I've seen none to date. By and large, it seems to be a simple case of nostalgia- the past is rarely as good as people remember. In fact, American crime rates in the last forty years are down. European (mostly secular) countries have far less crime than us, even with the crime decline.

Let me simplify, a god is a being with the power of creation, a master of maipulation of energy and matter. Could it be possible that in the eons of the Chaos the Gods evolved?
I just noticed, you said "gods". What gods do you believe in? Or did you mean to use the singular form of god?
Well I suppose I don't know, no one really knows what a God is.
Muhammad said that man was in Gods image related to reason, so God has reason but he said that God was beyond understanding.
So I believe in things beyond my understanding I suppose. At the end of the day you cannot prove or disprove God or Gods as you don't even know what you are talking about.
I suppose the athiest religion is the "System".
