Why are ppl so against atheism

- I find it odd that so many ppl believe in god without any proof,I'm not saying I don't believe because there is no proof,I don't believe in god because is so absurd to think a super-being created us when there is so much evidence against that notion.
A lot of the founding fathers wanted to get rid of religion cause it was deemed useless.
A lot of the educated people in this world are atheist.
Here is a Ricky gervais quote:“@rickygervais: Why chose something like evolution to deny? Way too much evidence. U look stupid. Chose something with no evidence to deny. That's what I do”
