what I do not agree with atheism is that aheism believe to the power of knowing(it means they truly truly believe) that there is no God, you simply cannot prove that
maybe there is and he doesn't care
or maybe all he did was create the big rock that blew up and left
God existing does not necessarly mean he prepared a heaven and a hell for humans, it might be as if he did not exist anyway
atheists are dimissing alot of possibilities that have a chance of being true

The problem is that Atheism is being seen as the proving-that-god-does-not-exist religion which is totally not true.
Atheism cannot be compared to a religion, atheism is not about proving that religion is wrong, it was found to focus on what is real and how to improve that reality and get humanity to a better place based on science ambition innovation...
If religion ever proves that god exists, atheism will be the first to accept it and back it and it won't affect its existence which is not the case with religion if god was proved wrong.
Why does religion face atheism most of the time?
It's simple, religion is the biggest obstacle against improvement, instead of working on getting the world go forward and accept changes and development according to human needs and evolution it puts limits and walls of basic living rules.
Look back into history, the eclipse, rain, earthquakes... used to be signs of god-mood and miracles; these were used too frequently by religions, once SCIENCE explained how these phenomenal works, religion just ignored those facts. They used to burn and behead people who claimed that the earth wasn't plate and were accused of being agents of the devil :P
Religion = Fantasies (They remain fantasies until proved otherwise)
Atheism = Science (Accept all kind of theories and philosophies, accept debates and all kind of results)
Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned
