Comment:	"However, it is worth noting that atheism offers us no explanation for the presence of evil in the world or any hope for the eventual redemption and restoration of the natural order - both of which Christianity does." This is not within Atheism's scope. Atheism just removes some rather bad explanations from the equation. Evolution, on the other hand, explains a lot of the evil that humans do. Greed and killing is a result from that humans and animals always have had to fight for resources. Altruism has also been a product, in that it has been useful to help people and then they'd get help back. Evolution as a process hasn't been even, though, so some are worse ore more "evil" than others. This is an explanation of sorts. Original sin, or whatever, is no explanation. Atheism just takes away that non-explanation allowing us to focus on the real issues.
