Well... besides the fact that it's not a choice, but the default position... YES. It's past primitive thinking and "faith" in myths.

No atheism is not the logical choice in todays world!
Jesus is the only logical choice and He has been for over 2,000 years!

If there is a God who created the universe, he is beyond our comprehension and it is incredibly arrogant of the Christian Church to attempt to define him. Atheism is, as you say, the only logical choice.

Yes it is. If you choose Athiesm, you will not be challenged to live your life by a standard. You will not be challenged by people who don't believe in God.
Do you really want to live your life logical? Wouldn't you rather have a meaningful, fulfilled life? Wouldn't you rather know the purpose for which you live your life is bigger than you?
James 4:4 You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

No, not necessarily. There are a lot of good arguments for/against God. Athiesm is not a logical and reasonable choice, but agnosticism is just that.

If you can honestly believe that there is nothing after death and your actions will bear no immortal consequence, hence you choose to believe in atheism that right is yours and having “In God We Trust” on money, the words “One Nation Under God” in the Pledge, and prayer at school, doesn’t hurt you any more than your disbelief hurts me. Therefore you should teach your beliefs to your children, let them see that there are other options and make their own choices the same way you were at some point exposed to a God belief and chose to disbelieve it.
Please consider Pascal’s Wager in your cognitive process of deciding your ultimate position.
“Pascal’s Wager (also known as Pascal’s Gambit) is Blaise Pascal’s famous argument for the belief in God. Pascal argues that it is always a better “bet” to believe in God, because the value to be gained from believing in God is always greater than the value resulting from non-belief… It states that if you were to analyze your options in regard to belief in Pascal’s God (or belief in any other religious system with a similar reward and punishment scheme), you would come out with the following possibilities:
·You may believe in God, and God exists, in which case you go to heaven.
·You may believe in God, and God doesn’t exist, in which case you gain nothing.
·You may not believe in God, and God doesn’t exist, in which case you gain nothing again.
·You may not believe in God, and God may exist, in which case you will be punished.
From these possibilities, and the principles of statistics, Pascal deduced that it would be better to believe in God unconditionally.”

Logical? Yes, of course.

It's the only "religious" viewpoint based solely on logic, so how could you argue otherwise?

no. It's like laying on the tracks, closing your eyes and saying I don't believe in trains..
