I've said this before, it doesn't CLAIM to be. All evolution does is provide a natural mechanism to explain a natural phenomenon.
Evolution explaining diversity of life doesn't confirm or falsify God, it just shows that God didn't create all the animals in an act of special creation, just like understanding how lightning works doesn't falsify Zeus, it just means that lightning isn't caused by Zeus hurling them down from heaven.
It only falsifies god if your definition of god requires evolution be false, which does not describe all Christians but does describe a small but vocal group of them.

Atheism isn't a philosophical outlook or a moral code or a system of beliefs, it's the lack of belief in a god. It seems to me that you are doing what you accuse others of doing; just lumping a bunch of people together and saying how they are wrong. Not all atheists discount philosophy, not all atheists ignore the impact religion has.
