no you can't, because they're based upon faith in the existence of a higher power.that's not true, what are you talking about? the bible is religious stories which cannot be proven false without a time machine.
Both of you are contradicting yourselves. Atheism and religion are philosophies of life. If religion is, as you say "wrong" as proven by science, there is no religion. If atheism is "wrong" as proven by religion, then there is no atheism. If there is neither of these things, is there no life? And don't take that the wrong way. Of course, without both we would still be alive. But there would be no progression.
I myself am an atheist. I was raised a Mormon, but have since my birth been on a road of self-discovery. Through this journey I have decided that i cannot live my life the way most people do. It is a personal matter, not a matter of what is morally "right" or wrong. I feel like a good person, and that is because i am. I don't do generically bad things. I don't demote other religious beliefs and I certainly do not tell people of other religious beliefs that they " have no morals". if there is one thing that totally defeats the purpose of Christianity, as well as most other major religions, it is when the members of these sects persecute those who do not believe the same things.
I am, to be frank, sick as hell of "Christians" who claim that their morals are superior to atheists. If you claim to be superior, you are claiming to be superior to your "savior" as he is called.
I'm ranting. TO make it short and simple, I am atheist not because I deny the existence of a higher being. I am atheist, not because i lack morals or because I am a second-rate citizen who wants to be paid for while drinking beer all day. I am atheist because I simply cannot put this life, which is so unbearably short, inb the hands of someone, or something, that I cannot see.
