Are Atheists to blame for God's wrath being brought upon America? If we isolated or converted them would the rest of us be spared from hurricanes, school shootings, and endless wars?

You're kidding, right?

Oh, what a crock. Hitler tried isolating people he didn't like, too. Then he gassed them and burned the corpses. And he was a Catholic.
There were wars long before there was your precious Jeeeeesus. And there were even MORE wars after him. Usually perpetrated in his name, I might add. The only wars started exclusively by atheists were both in the 20th Century: Korea and Vietnam. And even those were started by true believers, in a sense.
Atheists aren't fanatics about anything (except maybe personal liberties and the desire to be left alone by Christians). Fanatics are real the cause of trouble in the world.
And as for the weather: That's been screwy since the Stone Age. Don't try to blame us for that, too.
Besides, the majority of the country still claims to be Christian; hard-core atheists (like me) supposedly only make up 3% of the US population. I doubt even your gods would bother over a minority that small.
So, please: Grow up.

I am a Christian and I believe that the Atheists are not to blame for God's wrath being brought upon America.
If you will ask me, I believe that Christians are to blame (not only the Americans but the Christians all over the world)
I'm basing my opinion on the following scriptures -> 2 Chronicles 7:13 - 15

Hey, why don't we burn them at the stake like those retards at Salem did. Mother Nature is a nasty **** and she's going to continue to bite you in the *** regardless of atheists.
And why make atheists scape goats just because they aren't as easily manipulated, brainwashed and conned as you are.
Galileo almost lost his head because he tried to convince the intellectually challenged that the world wasn't flat and didn't have the arrogance to think that our puny planet was at the center of the solar system. Imagine the sun revolving around the Earth.
We have all those problems you mentioned because regardless of all the religious mumbo jumbo, humans are all seriously flawed, some more than others mind you, but flawed just the same.
I hate to sound like a hippy but I think Phil Collins got it right when he wrote: too many people causing too many problems and not enough love to go around. Evil is everywhere and love is nowhere to be seen except in crappy romance novels
and rotten movies like Pretty Woman.

It's amazing how god only targets areas which are hurricane prone. The number of atheists in, say, Canada is at least as high - why doesn't he attack them?
How are atheists to blame for shootings done by a christian?
Your god told your president that there were WMDs in Iraq - he's to blame for a war that killed hundreds of thousands, right?
Your religion made you a terrible, hateful person. Give it up and become a better one.

Yes, atheists are to blame for George Bush's little pleasure trip which the majority of them seemed to have opposed. They are also at fault for school shootings by those using frequent religious language to describe their reasoning in murdering people, and hurricanes which seem to be a stem of global warming caused by things the religious right of this country deny are happening in causes they refuse to champion....
Yes, the evil of atheism is to blame, things are much simpler that way.

I agree with the first part of the answer given by JackBaue that we are all born atheists.
But their is a contradiction in the second part of his answer where he says God wants us to be atheists. When you are talking God, the whole thing doesn't make any sense.
God Who jackbaue accepts to be a real entiety, will only want us to know Him and become a theist, and thus experience the divine pleasure for eternity.

Job 21:19-21 ()
19 It is said, 'God stores up a man's punishment for his sons.'
Let him repay the man himself, so that he will know it!
20 Let his own eyes see his destruction;
let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty. [a]
21 For what does he care about the family he leaves behind
when his allotted months come to an end?

Religion's long and bloody history speaks for itself! From the time of Christ to the present day, religions of every kind have left a trail of death and bloodshed. I say we would be FAR better off without it. So no; Atheists are not to blame, Christians are!!

Endless wars? since when is Bush an atheist?

Blaming a scapegoat for the problems in the world is something that a person who holds the most responsibility does.
