Take a deep breath and relax, dude. It is specious to say that atheists are all on some kind of anti-religious or anti-Christian warpath.
I'm an atheist. I do not criticize Christians for having the faith that they do; I choose not to believe the same thing that they do.
It seems like you're disparaging atheists here for not being able to prove that God doesn't exist. I also can't prove that the Earth wasn't created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. I also can't prove that you're not a four year old girl. Do I really have to prove any of these things in order to NOT believe that they're true?
The fact is that I have no reasonable proof for the existence of an invisible, omnipotent diety, and so I choose not believe that one exists. I have unanswered questions about the universe. I don't accept the answers that religions provide. I don't disparage others for accepting those answers; I only demand that they not to try to force their beliefs on me.
