I have watched about half of the first video so far. It isn't impressive.
Having read just the above 2 sentences, I already knew you were a religious fruitcake.

Up until now, atheism has been built purely on blind faith, simply because the "snippets" of science that seemed to point at evolution as being real,
And this is where I stopped reading and clicked your ignore button.
Sorry. I wasn't trying to trample on your religion. I was simply pointing out some things in the beginnings of the first video.
Boy, some of you atheists are touchy about your religion. And I suppose I would be about Christianity as well, if Christianity were simply based on blind faith.
What I don't understand is how atheists can hang onto a religion that so constantly says "maybe," "possibly," "if," and all kinds of other limiting factors that show that nobody really has any kind of a clue about the foundations of the religion. You guys are distinctly admirable in your bravery, blind though it may be.
Atheism isn't really a religion but it still hinges on a sort of blind trust that all assumptions thus forth are logical and rational even if they themselves cannot rationalize it, which makes it just as contingent on this faith factor as religion.
Seems to me that atheism is a sort of primitive religion. It has most of the things that are required for something to be termed a religion. Yet, unlike most modern religions - Christianity, Buddhism - there are certain parts of atheism that aren't expressed clearly, while other parts are expressed in detail, like dogma.
I might compare the atheism religion to one of the more primitive cells in early evolution history. Christianity would be like a very specialized eye cell or brain cell.
The prerequisites for atheism being a religion seem to be there. There is no proof that God exists; there is no proof that God does not exist. So, why believe God does not exist? There is no foundation for such a belief. This makes atheism, at the very least, very similar to a religion.
