In response to Megan's question

Question: What is it that changed the minds of people to become more accepting of atheism?

People became more accepting as science became more advanced and proof of evolution was backed up with scientific research and evidence. Religion was formed thousands of years ago, before people had any real explanation of how the world was formed. Stories and myths were created to reason why we are on this planet, but as we became more civilized and intelligent, the thought of evolution become more realistic and religion became more of a safety blanket.

What if evidence of evolution was discovered earlier in history? Do you think it would have made any difference?
