Like people learned in Science look for scientific proof of religious things. Does God exist? What is the proof? DiD prophets get revelations? proof? etc.

Yes, but, science is great. The problem arises when people tend to make great scientific observations, but then draw utterly dumb conclutions, as in the case with believing in evolution.

The intelligence and critical thinking skills that are required to truly and thoroughly understand the bible and other religious texts reveal the self contradicting and self serving nature of these texts. In the light of truth, these texts only serve to control peoples minds and swindle profit from the faithful through fear, ignorance and fraud.
It just so happens that the same intelligence and critical thinking skills are also required to understand the workings of science and technology.
Without the required intelligence or critical thinking skills people resort to religion to tell them what to think. It is truly sad.

Sure.
I'm not an atheist but I'm not a ignorant blind faith religion either.
I just learn all I can, even if it includes metaphysics.
I'm being honest.
There is alot of science dealing with the paranormal and have repeated experiments but some people choose not to see that as real science either, even if it's repeatable.

People of intellect with honest & open minds look around themselves at the wonder of the universe, the wonder of the world, the marvels of science & technology, and the remarkable things some humsn are capable of; Then they look at the inequity & unfairness that pure chance imposes upon some other people, and logic leads them to atheism.
What "caring & compassionate" God would permit childhood cancer deaths?
Logic dictates one conclude that either "God" isn't there, or he is indifferent to most suffering.

No, but they do provide answers for atheists who ask questions. Atheists do not become atheists because of science or tech, but because they find religion severely wanting or outright rediculous. Science is used as support for arguments, not a conversion tool.
Knowledge, education, and asking hard questions about your own faith can lead to atheism. Particularly when the "answers" to your questions rely entirely on "magic".

Well they certainly lead away from those religious beliefs which contradict science which would include fundamentalist Christianity and Islam. Unfortunately however most people are scientifically illiterate.

It can. There is this idea that religion and science HAVE to be mutually exclusive, and that if you accept religion you have to ignor any scientific idea that doesn't fit in with your religious belief, and vice versa. Sad but true.

No, intelligence and logic has lead this man towards atheism. Of course, science had a hand in it.

Some might but I think your mind is made up by your parents more than science or anything else!

No, being able to think for myself led me to science and technology, which then led me to the answers I sought.
