The most important reason anyone is an atheist

[Optimistic Mysanthrope]

You refute absolutely nothing.
When the hospital the rehab. centers the nursing homes and by the way even the jails will be under control then you will be able to say that medical science has defeated physical and mental diseases.
But that will only happen when all 3 horses are fed properly so the cart of progress can go straight.
At the moment it proceede like a zombie.

At no point have I claimed that medical science has "defeated" physical and mental diseases. I claimed that the number of hospital beds per capita has decreased, leading to an overcrowding of hospital beds.

Here's a report detailing the decrease in mortality rates per capita over the 20th century.

Trends in infectious disease mortality in the US during the 20th century

Infectious disease mortality declined during the first 8 decades of the 20th century from 797 deaths per 100000 in 1900 to 36 deaths per 100000 in 1980. From 1981 to 1995, the mortality rate increased to a peak of 63 deaths per 100000 in 1995 and declined to 59 deaths per 100000 in 1996. The decline was interrupted by a sharp spike in mortality caused by the 1918 influenza epidemic. From 1938 to 1952, the decline was particularly rapid, with mortality decreasing 8.2% per year.

Do you have any data/evidence to back up your assertions?
