Evolution & Empowerment

If Atheism is a more highly evolved cultural state, as some posit, why (so the contrary argument goes) aren't there more Atheists? Why aren't there more Mozarts, Van Goghs, Shakespeares?

"Social Darwinism" is not Charles Darwinism.

It is not god that empowers believers, it's their faith in god that empowers them. I contend that faith in themselves would be far more empowering.

I COMPLETELY agree, I have similar viewpoints expressed on my blog as well.

God is not intervening in human affairs, so regardless of whether one believes in a higher power or not, their faith and energy should be driven inward.
