Alright, I'm basically Atheist, so I think I should say a few things.

You're arguement is fine, but this does not represent all Atheists. Atheists just don't believe there was some supreme being, that does not mean that they think more scientific at all. I believe that religion is good for certain people. Just not for me.

Religion is basically a person's way of finding a motivation to get through life. I think I've said this before. Religions give a person morals and ethics that they may have otherwise not learned. I am Atheist because I don't believe that I need such a thing to learn my teachings from. There are also plenty of Theists who still accept some scientific theories and what not. What your story is is two radical positions fighting against each other, which happens of course, but not a whole lot.

One flaw: "Religion is basically a person's way of finding a motivation to get through life". That is simply not true..... well with some people.

I don't see religious people get motivated by God, I guess it gives reinsurance about when you die, but the fact is most people are terrified of death.
