some argue the state and atheists have cause over 100 million deaths. Nothing compared to the sheer number of deaths that have been cause by religion and theism in the past (crusades) and the simple halt of progress that the church has created (inquisition). Also, violence based on God continues today in the Middle East. But atheists are bad because they don't have faith in something that has no logical merit.
According to Roman Catholic tradition and scripture, one is to have faith in something without proof, like God or Jesus. However, I can easily say "I am Jesus 2005, follow me" and you must follow me without any logical reason or proof, because you're supposed to have faith. Makes sense.

The rejection of theism, or belief that there is no omnipotent being that controls or created anything. The atheist leaves little to subjectivity beyond this, and generally only relies on what is observable and provable.
Atheism relies heavily on science for explanation. The only induction allowed in science is in the basic properties of matter that are so fundamental that they can not be proven to exist by anything else (the same way a statement can not cite itself as a proof), but are easily observable and thus held to be true. Science holds true only what can be observed.

Christianity is stupid because they believe in god, atheism doesn't involve that so atheists agree that Christianity is stupid

The belief that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason whatsoever into self replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs.
