I think I'm an atheist, and would like some help getting the facts straight.
So, okay I have no self-worth because that does not fit into the religion of evolution.
I'm allowed to do whatever I want (because I have no morals being that I'm godless). But I'm not allowed to think whatever I want? What if I want to think of reality in a certain way? Would Richard Dawkins be pissed or would he allow that?
Oh, and when I'm praying to Richard Dawkins, how should I address him? Cause I know he doesn't like the God surname. Should I call him Sir Richard Dawkins, or just simply "his holiness?"
Just trying to make sure I do things right so I don't go to "atheist's hell" (you know, using my imagination).

Oh and since love is just a chemical reaction, how do I make a girl fall in love with me by using only zirconium and molybdenum? I heard you could do it without an actinoid but I'm not sure.

Nope, wrong. No atheist would be caught dead espousing such ridiculous ideas. Fundies like you (yes, I can tell) are so terrible at disguising yourselves--it just shows how little you know, as you have so aptly exemplified.
Evolution (not a religion--is gravity a religion to you too?) doesn't make value judgments on the worth of people--that's philosophy's turf.
You're not allowed to do whatever you want, because our common humanity allows us to come up with universal morals based on the things we all have in common, without ever once having to turn to collections of superstitions compiled by manipulative people whose aim it was to subjugate the masses.
You are welcome to speculate as much as you'd like on reality--we'd just discourage you calling anything 'fact' without proving it first.
I think Mr. Dawkins is good for a professional tone--if you get to know him better, I'm sure "Richard" should be fine. Dawkins isn't a deity and doesn't answer prayers, though, so praying to him would be a waste of time.
Atheists don't believe in any of that superstitious afterlife nonsense. The consequences of your actions are HERE and NOW. The best way to live your life is to seek happiness while doing your best to help others achieve that same happiness.

First, congratulations on evolving to a higher point of reality.
Second, there is no atheist hell, but there is still a strong reason for morality. You should know that atheists are normally more moral and ethical than religious folks, and our crime rate is lower as well. You will find morality is easier to find and practice without nonsense superstitions getting in the way.
Third, you will find that atheist have a strong sense of self-worth. We don't have to spend our lives chasing down false gods for our justification. We exist, and believe it is our right, and don't need some priests to bless us.
Fourth, we don't need to troll to achieve anything, and you do your own cause great harm by doing so. It proves your level of morality is bad with your belief system.
