Perhaps that should be "most theologically liberal Christians" accept evolution. And since evolution does not take into account the Creator, it is definitely atheistic.Most Christians accept Evolution. Notice I say accept rather than believe.
Neither does it affirm that life came from God.Evolution does NOT explain how life came from nonlife.

No other scientific theory affirms God either. Do you have a problem with all scientific theories?

To claim atheism you forfeit the ability to claim inalienable rights for yourself. See, our founding fathers knew the truth that our rights don't come from the government, ourself, or a king. Our rights come from God. To deny the existence of God you loose the source of your rights. Thus, not giving you a foundation upon which to stand on them. This then allows anyone to take your rights away from you.
Atheism is more dangerous to our freedom and our republic than we give it credit.
Atheism has a possibility of being a danger because it has no grounding to claim inalienable rights. If rights are given by the state they can take them away at any time and if rights are given by self someone more powerful can take them away. But if rights are given by God then no one has the ability to take rights away.

No other scientific theories pretend to explain how God created all the species of creatures which exist, and no other scientific theories pretend to intrude on the supernatural. But here is what evolution teaches (in direct contradiction to Divine revelation, and based on PURE SPECULATION):No other scientific theory affirms God either.

Quoted from WikipediaHighly energetic chemistry is thought to have produced [SPECULATION] a self-replicating molecule around 4 billion years ago, and half a billion years later the last common ancestor of all life existed. The current scientific consensus is that the complex biochemistry that makes up life came from simpler chemical reactions. [SPECULATION] The beginning of life may have included self-replicating molecules such as RNA and the assembly of simple cells [SPECULATION].... Prokaryotes inhabited the Earth from approximately 3–4 billion years ago. No obvious changes in morphology or cellular organisation occurred in these organisms over the next few billion years. The eukaryotic cells emerged between 1.6–2.7 billion years ago. [SPECULATION] The next major change in cell structure came when bacteria were engulfed by eukaryotic cells, in a cooperative association called endosymbiosis.The engulfed bacteria and the host cell then underwent coevolution, with the bacteria evolving into either mitochondria or hydrogenosomes. Another engulfment of cyanobacterial-like organisms led to the formation of chloroplasts in algae and plants. [PURE SPECULATION]
The history of life was that of the unicellular eukaryotes, prokaryotes and archaea until about 610 million years ago when multicellular organisms began to appear in the oceans in the Ediacaran period. [MORE SPECULATION] The evolution of multicellularity occurred in multiple independent events, in organisms as diverse assponges, brown algae, cyanobacteria, slime moulds andmyxobacteria. Soon after the emergence of these first multicellular organisms, a remarkable amount of biological diversity appeared over approximately 10 million years, in an event called the Cambrian explosion. Here, the majority of types of modern animals appeared in the fossil record, as well as unique lineages that subsequently became extinct. Various triggers for the Cambrian explosion have been proposed, including the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere from photosynthesis. [NO REFERENCE TO THE CREATION ACCOUNT WHATSOEVER] About 500 million years ago, plants and fungi colonised the land and were soon followed by arthropods and other animals. Insects were particularly successful and even today make up the majority of animal species. Amphibians first appeared around 364 million years ago, followed by early amniotes and birdsaround 155 million years ago (both from "reptile"-like lineages), mammals around 129 million years ago, homininae around 10 million years ago and modern humans around 250,000 years ago.However, despite the evolution of these large animals, smaller organisms similar to the types that evolved early in this process continue to be highly successful and dominate the Earth, with the majority of both biomass and species being prokaryotes.

Jesus Christ will judge -Tell it to the judge.
Glad you can learn.

As a Christian, it behooves you to not be arrogant, since that certainly how you have come across in practically all your posts.
You just post claim after claim, and if someone tells you that you are wrong, you get quite angry and rude.
If I may ask ... how do you know?Saying that their ideology 'produces nothing more than pain and degradation' is not only ridiculous blase, but also just incredibly insulting.

You're a deist.
You and your friends must be incredibly sensitive then, as I hear all the time how Christianity/creationism is responsible for our country being behind in the World Smarts Competition; and I take it with a grain of salt.Used to be an atheist. Plus I also am friends with people who are atheists.

Others do though.I do not believe that it's religion that's put the USA in the state it's in. People misusing religion, aye, but not religion by itself.
