That peter12 and you are so distressed by the turn of events gladdens me immensely.

Whatever the case, atheists will never rid the world of religion- which is precisely why the "unholy war" against Christianity, Islam and so forth is an impossible idea. While Atheists may continue to "convert" people with science and reason, preachers and pastors will continue to do the same with scripture, emotion, and community.
The religious have never really based their beliefs on science and reason, which is why putting together fancy graphs that attempt to discredit scripture with logic is useless- fine if it is meant to be a rallying tool for like minded non-believers. To expect it to spark the revelation in a Christian of a godless universe is silly.
