Cute, but it doesn’t really make sense.

Scientists can’t prove God doesn’t exist, just like scientists can’t prove fairies don’t exist. The burden of proof is on those who make extraordinary claims.

I have never met an atheist that has said “believers must die.” Many of them were believers earlier in life, so I’m sure they wouldn’t want people challenging their lives.

Most atheists rely on reason. That’s most likely how they became atheists. It’s not reasonable to say “astronauts didn’t find God” because it’s common knowledge that astronauts haven’t gone very far in relation to how much is actually out there to explore.

ALL wars weren’t caused by faith by MANY were. And they still are. Crusades? Inquisition? Holocaust? September 11th? Sunni/Shiite? Ireland? I’ve never heard of a war in the name of science or reason. In fact, both science and reason have been attacked by religion for thousands of years. Every time there is an advance, or we learn something new about the world that contradicts a holy book, a troupe of believers in that holy book ignore it, refuse to teach it to their children, etc. (i.e. earth is not flat, evolution). Not to mention people with religion tend to think only their religion is correct and everyone else is wrong. Atheism is not a religion. There is no doctrine and no mythology—there is just the provable, the testable, the demonstrable and the evident.

Again, I have never met an atheist that hates believers simply for believing in God (or gods depending on what religion we’re talking about). I HAVE, however, encountered MANY people of faith that have done things like condemn their own children to eternal torture, that have gone to court testifying that God told them to kill, that think atheists worship Satan (which is funny, considering they don’t believe Satan exists), and more.

This graphic was made by someone who really doesn’t know too much about the topic. I hope I clarified a few things.

Here’s a pretty thorough FAQ for your perusing though:
