Haha really?
How many young people kill themselves in secular 'advanved' countries?
The world is not improving, that is based on wishful thinking...
What does this have to do with anything? People have been killing themselves since there have been people. People in theocracies kill themselves. People in secular countries kill themselves. How is this evidence that the world is not improving?
And you know what? If the world is not improving the fault lies with religious whackos, not atheists. Who blows themselves up in a crowd of strangers? Religious whackos. Who opposes educating young girls? Religious whackos. Who flies planes full of people into buildings full of people? Religious whackos. Who wants to impose harsh laws that are relics of the Bronze Age? Religious whackos. Who stands around holding up signs that say "GOD HATES FAGS!"? Religious whackos. Who is our biggest concern if they obtain nuclear weapons? Religious whackos.
Atheism has done nothing as far as hindering scientific progress, repressing people or committing atrocities. That ball is squarely in religion's court.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
