I'm an atheist as well, but i believe there is a Source of the whole universe  which might be something like an entity maybe who knows! And as I see it, a religion's job should be to help people make contact with that "Source of everything" kind of thing who people call GOD...but no way, i don't believe it the same way all those close-minded people get it! But if that's so, there might be a good and evil attribute as well in the whole story... still trying to understand
