Atheism was proved wrong in it's first generation by the mass murders of Stalin and Mao, and by the final collapse of atheistic socialism more than a decade ago.
Atheism is an idea whose time has passed.

People who believe that science has the answers to all of life's questions will never fully understand or accept religion. Likewise, people who believe that religion has the answers to all of life's questions will never fully understand or accept science.
In science 1+1=2.
In religion @+&=!!!.
They are 2 different languages. Scientific logic cannot prove or disprove religion and religious belief cannot prove or disprove science. Any attempt by one to prove or disprove the other is pointless. Both sides need to accept this and quit fighting about it.

No, I think it is obvious that there is something beyond the universe. Science is just as clueless as religion. I see god as the transcendent energy in which all comes from. Science cant answer so many of the answers out there....like....what is existence itself and can there be one beginning to everything. I think not..there is one energy that is beyond space,time and the material world. God is the sum of all that is, was, and ever shall be. In the end I think all is really one...so we are all part of god. I was once an atheist..but psychedelics showed me there is much much more then we can even sense

You will never be able to prove religion wrong if you keep misrepresenting their arguments. Go brush up on theistic apologetics so that can actually argue against their logic, rather than throwing out unsubstantiated ad hominem attacks. It is surprising to see arguments like Goedel's Ontological Argument dismissed as "illogical."

If there are numerous religions all claiming to be the "one true faith" (as someone wrote earlier tonight), and their beliefs are in conflict with one another, then, obviously, all but one of them (or all of them!) are wrong, but proving who or which are the offenders would be difficult -- in fact, impossible, in my opinion, which is why I am agnostic, because I do think that they are all incorrect in their dogmas! I think, however, that the nonexistence of a creative deity is likewise impossible to prove, although I do understand the atheistic contention that the burden of proof is the theists'.

Nobody will ever prove to a devoted religionist that their religion is wrong. It's like trying to convince a little kid that Santa Claus doesn't exist; it's not about logic.

But why to prove it wrong?
It's like disproving a joke when we're already laughing at it.

If you can show me how intelligent life was accidentally created from nothing by totally random chance, you might have a point.
