> the left was tearing western society apart . . . That was what was causing the breakup of familys leading to the decay of moral values.
My fear is that you are basing your belief in this on evidence about the same quality as that found in Zeitgeist (terrible documentary debunked by atheists and the religious alike: See Reasonable Doubts podcast from a decade ago for an example http://podbay.fm/show/266671828/e/1267818099?autostart=1)
In fact, societies with the lowest rate of religiosity (also very left of center) are some of the most stable, happy, and flourishing in the world. This to me means that lack of religious faith and the sort of moral values that lead to stable families and flourishing societies are totally compatible.
See the book The Nonreligious: Understanding Secular People and Society below for a good overview.

On a more personal level, I have been an atheist for about 15 years, am a happy father and husband, hold down a stable job that lets me contribute to charity each year, and although I may have moral disagreements with you, I'll bet that fundamentally we have many of the same aims. I hope to be an example of an "atheist lifestyle" with relatively high rates of happiness, flourishing, and compassion.
Do you think that my life is really a degenerate path into clown world? And would you consider that maybe you are wrong about some of your beliefs as you were in the Zeitgeist documentary?
