I don't think anyone in Europe is fanatical about religion these days.. Excessive materialism and general stupidity is much more of a problem. I agree with some things that you are saying but not all.

An atheistic world doesn't appeal to me. What is there to aspire to other than materialism and physical gratification? Who is to say what's right or wrong if there is no religion? Then it's all subjective! Not to mention that your life and how you live it is meaningless. Another thing you'd miss out on is Christian love (I assume there is something equivalent in Islam and Judaism).

I choose to believe that there is something more, and a power wiser than man; plus that the world is designed and not a spectacular but ultimately meaningless and random chance.

I can't understand people who aggressively campaign for atheism.
