I seriously doubt it. There are a few theologians that truly do value free thought, but they're mostly condemned by the majority of religious leaders who seem to be too insecure to allow others to question their righteousness.

Faith in God is not a cause.
Moreover, atheism has no intrinsic value. Intrinsic value is unsuffused. Atheism takes atheists to have value. That is, the atheists themselves infuse atheism with the value. And atheism is a cause--its being thus infused by its proponents.

Roman Catholicism admits that errors contribute to the furtherance of the truth but not because of any intrinsic value the latter possess. We don't see any cure as produced by the ailment or sickness itself.

Eh? And concerning one of the answers posted, I wouldn't "wish" for Atheism to be non-existent or whatever because sometimes Atheists publish books that challenge religion, giving religion a chance to defend itself and present evidence which may convince people into believing. If it wasn't for Atheists challenging religion, you wouldn't have so many people who want to back faith with evidence.

Well God said in his word The fool says in his heart there is no God. So I would say no. Their is scientific proof today that proves a creator.

Withough Christ there is no hope. You cannot face God on your own, because we are all guilty of breaking his strict moral laws. The infinite powerful almighty God can cast any sinner without christ for any moment into hell. So its important that you repent and turn to Jesus.
Just remember rather you now believe in the truth you know hear you will be fully convinced of it. And those with like circumstance wish they would have the opportunity you know have. Seek and you shall find a promise from scripture. You dont have to fear death. Atheist act bold, but never at their death. Don't believe what they say. Go and see for yourself.

Well, there must be opposition in all things. Perhaps we are all learning how to think on a level that more people understand, or in my case, I am heading towards how to work with people who are less skeptical, say children and teenagers. Have a happy day, and I send you a gummy bear.

I appreciate it to the point that you prove the bible prophecy of 2 timothy 3 : 1-6 to be true.. "that in the last days...men will be lovers of themselves with no natural affection, blasphemers, unthankful, disloyal, not open to any agreement..."
So yes thank you for helping to strengthen my love for Jehovah God!

No one cares about this debate (Atheism vs Religion). Those who have seriousness about either one of them, don't care what the other one is doing with their life and personal freedom.

Religion rarely appreciates things that are oppose to them. But I am sure there are individuals within religion that do.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say - "no they don't appreciate atheism for any reason".
IMHO
