Btw, from now on I'm calling Christianity Jesusism.
Or maybe magic bibleism.
If you stop calling me an "evilutionist" all call you a Christian.

Because being an independent thinker is always cooler than being a suck up.

correction to other answer that Christianity doesn't have any truth. It has more truth and evidence behind it than any other belief that has ever existed. Read Josh McDowell's "Evidence that Demands a verdict" or Lee Strobel's "A case for Christ" Nothing but cold hard facts and refutes to any other athestic argument.
The original question ---
Because atheism is hip, and is taught, and has an enemy fighting for its side. Hip- Yes hip, religion can posses that attribute (I did not stutter, atheism is a religion, it requires more blind belief than Christianity). For instance, it was cool to be a Christian around 300 AD, and not cool from 800AD til about 1500. Atheism is taught, because people thing theism is defeated by Darwinism, which is a complete lie. There is absolutely ZERO fossil evidence to support Darwin's "Tree of life" idea. Darwin himself understands a place for a flaw in his idea. that If it could be proven that organs cannot exist without every piece than its flawed. The concept of "Irreducible Complexity" disproves his theory's 100% along with a myriad of other proofs.

Because different is always somehow considered "cooler", not to mention atheists have this supposed freedom of being able to cuss, drink, and get a little unmarried nooky now and again (all cool things). But the plain fact is (at least in America) Blackism (being black) is WAY cooler than atheism. If you're black, you get a free pass on cool, it seems.
And you know what? In America most black people.... are CHRISTIANS. So, who would win in a cool-fist-fight between Richard Dawkins and Kanye West? Eh, I don't know.

Because atheism removes all of the restrictions that God has set down, allowing atheists to believe that they are free to do and believe as they wish.
Christians understand that God has set down laws that He expects us to follow, knowing that if left to our own sinful natures we would make this planet a living Hell. Just watch the news and see what happens when people follow their own natures - murder, rape, robbery, drug use, violence, abuse... the list goes on. Yet this is SO much cooler than following God's laws?
Yet the atheists shout that Christians are fools to believe in a God who has set down restrictions against bad behavior, restrictions that are actually beneficial if a person takes an objective look at them.
So which is better, the anarchy promoted by atheism, or the reasonable order promoted by Christianity?

because jesusism has no truthyness to it
PS Baseball Girl- how is it that a christian calls atheism a delusional mindset? methinks you need to reread the gospel of glass houses and flying stones
PS CeeDee- how bout instead of a fistfight b/t west and dawkins we have a civilized contest?
West would win in armwrestling; the only other events in which dawkins would lose might be "rhyming over canned trax" or "using a national tragedy (e.g. a hurricane) to incite racist hatred and public division"

Well evolutionist I believe Atheism is totally not cool, because it is a lie.
You say evolution is true by faith.
No scientific Proof of any of the following
Cosmic Evolution- The evolution of time, space, and matter.
Chemical Evoltuion- The evolution of higher elements from hydrogen
Stellear and Planetary Evolution. Origin of stars and planets
Organic Evolution- Origin of Life
Macro Evolution- Changing from 1 kind to another
I suppose in billions of years, the eagle is going to evolve into a airplane. But until then I believe its a fairy tale.

Freedom is always cooler than captivity. Be it physical or intellectual. Call it whatever you want.

I call it Paulianity.
It's cooler because we don't get uptight about near so many things as they do.
