Find the hole in the argument. I`m not saying this stuff categorically; if anyone has something to critique or whatever I`d love to listen and respond.

Your logic is based upon a set of assumptions which have no hope of being quantifiable. How about this... I am an agnostic. I think religion should be left to the individual. My motivating philosophy is liberalism or libertarianism. I believe in the primacy of the individual and the right of self-determination. Abortion violates this in the most fundamental way.
If human life is the most important aspect of our society, then I support the full use and funding of contraception and sexual education. I am also against the death penalty as I do not believe the State has any right to decide when an individual should die. I do not support wars that do not pass muster in a democratic body and if the army is not composed of willing and paid volunteers.
Life is so much more than your false duality of religious and atheist.
