I don't understand why some atheists find a need to 'war' with believers of any sort. If you don't believe in any deity, why try to convince someone who does that they are wrong?
Yes.

Hey, religions are much guiltier than Atheist/Agnostics of converting people. At least they don't go to third world countries and offer help if they convert! Hmmm! Your beaten there!
As for proving religion fails because they can't prove Jack & then present you with BS Faith concepts. and thus they think it silly !
I like this line. Star for that.
Hard atheists give atheism a bad name in the same way that religion gives spirituality a bad name

Arguing about truth and religion is silly anyway, it is an unprovable argument.

Question though, Does Buddhism give spirituality a bad name?

I reject all the claims you listed, though I am open to proof. I see very few (again, very few, because there might be a few ridiculous individuals) outright claiming to reject assertions that put forth evidence that they happen to believe in.
what do you think is wrong with us?
There was only one sentence in my first post that ended with this punctuation...."?". That would make it THE question that I referred to. I'll put it up here so that you know which sentence it is.

If this is your question well Atheists don't "Go to War" as you put it.organised religion is everywhere & pushed in your face. It's a bout having an equal say. There is not equal say. So why is religions push their agenda everywhere & other beliefs are not entitled to it.

So your faith lies with others that believe that others believe that others believe that there is no God...........
Yet even if everyone that ever lived was before you, you would not have enough knowledge to know for certain that there is not a God.
You deny the truth willingly that is all the evidence is before you daily yet you fight it.
Your heart knows it is true,
your spirit knows it is true,
it is just your carnal mind that denies the facts that there is know way you are here by random happenstance.
