Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!

RE: Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!
My being an atheist doesn't rely on (correct, proven, or 'anything') testimonials, writings, cave drawings, epistles, what have you.

My being an atheist is solely based on science and everything it proves and explains. What it proves and explains is what every religion in the past created to fulfill some sort of 'what's it all for' question that everyone needed answering in those most ancient of days.

Why I think it got so widespread regardless of the uncertainty of the times; The people who made it up knew it wasn't true, but they had all the ducets or paper or papyrus or gold or silver or whatever currency was popular at the time. That's what mattered; they knew they had the money and the power and that their followers had no such thing and no clue. "I dunno why. But I dunno why it matters, because I'm rich!"
