This might well be the silliest question ever asked.
Of course atheism rose out of nature. It's not like we think God created it, you know.
Actually, I agree. I botched what I was attempting to point out. Self-described theistic evolutionist Ken Miller, makes the point that I was attempting to make in response to fellow Darwinists simply believing what Darwin initially proposed: natural selection (materialism) created Mind and not the Genesis model of Mind created matter. Miller departs Darwin right here, and makes the point I attempted to make. Your point is so logical that I now have no idea as to what Miller's or my point was.
BTW, Dan, if Darwin and Dennett and Dawkins are right, this means the majority of Darwinists (TEists) are under delusion of immeasureable proportion. This leaves atheists as the only undeluded persons roaming the world. This is how we know Darwinism is atheistic from top to bottom - everyone is deluded except for them. Since the Bible explains atheism as a penalty from God for initiating scorn towards Him, their beliefs about themselves and everyone else is explained perfectly.
