Joe42, his evidence consists of what exactly? I'd love to see it.
Presuming you are also one of these infallible atheists with I quote "an almost infinite quantity of high quality reproducible evidence" (love that line btw) what is your evidence, and can I see it?
Read his books. Seriously.
Its taken him a lifetime to set out all the reasons why religion is wrong. I'm not about to try and do that in 5 minutes.

Atheism is the inherent faith that there is no god, you are wrong.
Why am i wrong? Don't just state that i am wrong, show me why, or its meaningless.
Heres the definition of faith:
Dictionary.com said:
Faith - belief that is not based on proof
Atheism is the belief that the world was not created by a supreme being, because there is hardly any evidence that suggests that it was and because there is a staggering amount of evidence to suggest that it wasn't. There's no faith involved.
I have no faith in anything, because faith is a ridiculous thing. Why would anyone believe in anything which has no evidence to support it?

Oh dear - miseducation is a horrible disabilty
You seem to have this idea that anyone who doesn't believe that the world was created by a big man in the sky in 7 days is an idiot... i find that rather amusing.
Jesus did not rise from the dead, because its impossible.
The evidence that suggests he did is one rather badly written 2000 year old book. The evidence that suggests that he didn't is the billions of people who haven't been able to rise from the dead since, and the 2000 years of science since that has begun to understand how the world actually works.
There's a time and a place for fairy tales, and that was 2000 years ago when we simply weren't clever enough to understand to any extent at all how the world works. It was a good explanation then, but its been a little out of date for about a 1000 years or so.

The thing is, by proving someone wrong doesn't automatically prove you yourself are correct.
Either the world was created by a supreme being or it wasn't. If there's no evidence that it was, then it wasn't.
