An innate human longing in a person for a deity does not suggest evidence for it's existence, it just suggests that one has a longing. It seems you see evolution as a threat to your deity, and for many reasoning and doubt are the key factors that break a person's faith. Personally, when I lost my faith I felt crestfallen, and a tad empty - but this was all addiction, it was like going cold turkey from nicotine. Now, I see how pointless a life can be if you do no living now and adhere to that which is subjective and not universal to your understanding, while you have the chance to really live, instead of waiting for the afterlife where 'the party is at'.
Its the question of what does one do when one loses their invisible friend, in the end its just about what gets us all from A to B quicker. If people want to spend their time genuflecting and blessing themselves or asking an invisible force for forgiveness for the way they were actually created (animalistic) then this is fine, if it makes one happier - just don't come knocking on my door asking me to do the same. In the same way, if one wants to live how one wants without fearing repercussions and living by what one knows physically, then so be it - the only real reasons non-believers are challenging the religious system is because of 'creationism as fact' and the ignorance this may cause, and when people sacrifice reason for madness seen in Atheist's links he has posted, and also since 9/11 there has been a resurgence in atheistic thought.
Personally I have more respect for someone who goes to a lesser economically developed country to help install a water-well in a village just because one can - and DOES NOT proceed to say, 'God did this for you, tomorrow we shall build a church here, stop worshipping your tribal gods, and leave this culture behind you, we're right and you're wrong'. Its disgusting how as faith leaves the secularising countries, it makes its presence felt in those who need reassurance to live their lives - and this is a form of psychological globalisation and it doesn't get things solved..
