What are the best Atheistic Arguments?

Absolutely not. To make such an imprecise sweeping statement tho' is to completely miss the point. They had some great ideas too, from the first twinklings of animism. It's easy to mock now from the high tower of scientific progress, but I bet they could teach us a lot about what it means to be human and live in harmony with nature. We seem to have gone wrong where they weren't.

Yet it seems you simply deny the fact that these beliefs promoted killing people for sacrifice. The past was not some dreamy "talking to animals" and "living off nature".

It was hard, cruel, and highly superstitious. The people of the past tried the best they could to understand the world and the result was Aztecs making human sacrifices to keep the sun rising every day. This was their attempt at science.
