Old atheism, and neo-atheism. One who simply disbelieves in God, and one that almost makes it a religion to disbelieve. To be more accurate, the atheist side should have just 2 brances.

Not for the resons in the pic, but because. I truly believe the simplest explination that requires the fewist assumtions is usually the right one. The thought of an all knowing being or God, that conjures up incredibly complex systems involving miracles with the snap of a finger, is way more complex and requires many more assumptions than evolution. OK let the bible thumping begin. I think Occams Razor applies well to Atheism.

However, the actual situation (about the upper part) is much more complex, with a great deal of fragmentation (and inter-faith cannibalization) in the last 300 years...where do Mormons, Baptists, Methodists, Seventh Day Adventists, Pentecostals, Jehovah's Witnesses and other cults figure in this?
