Obviously no one kills in the name of atheism -- atheism doesn't have any values to kill for. Still, people kill people in the name of many things (country, person, money, freedom). Do you think that the people who kill in the name of religion would not have killed anyone had religion not existed?
If I get books from the library, it would be a poor assumption that getting rid of libraries would keep me from having books.

Again, you are assuming your conclusion -- how could you ever hope to be convincing like this?
And again, you know nothing about me. I'm not a Christian. I'm 5 months away from being a doctor. I've studied biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, etc at a college level. To say that my philosophy of life is not based in science, reason, and logic is laughable. Sure, there are aspects of it that you will find irrational, but who doesn't have any irrational beliefs?
