Since the Awareness of God is intrinsic in humans, "TRUE Atheism" isn't possible. Agnosticism, however, is everywhere.

Exactly, the world is full of people being deceived by the enemy. That's where all the crazy ideas come from in our society today.

Government is God's gift to men. It was given in order to keep us from fulfilling the evil of the human heart. Every time in human history when man is at the place where he is on the verge of destroying himself, God has intervened, usually through governmental agencies or the raising up of some new nation or some new power on the earth to overturn and overthrow the plans and programs of men, and return the world to some semblance again of order and of peace. This has been God's recurrent program throughout human history. And thus we can see that the existence of nations can be viewed as God's partial answer to the disintegrating force of sin in human life. If it weren't for government, man would have ceased to exist long, long ago.

There is a kind of dualism in our fallen world which has accounted for most of the persecutions endured by believers since the days of Cain and Abel.

There are two spirits in the earth, the Spirit of God and the spirit of Satan, and these are at eternal enmity. The ostensible cause of religious hatred may be almost anything; the true cause is nearly always the same:

The ancient animosity which Satan, since the time of his inglorious fall, has ever felt toward God and His kingdom. Satan is aflame with desire for unlimited dominion over the human family; and whenever that evil ambition is challenged by the Spirit of God, he invariably retaliates with savage fury.

 

[Jotham]

The world hated Jesus without a cause. In spite of their fantastic charges against Him, Christ’s contemporaries found nothing in either His doctrines or His deeds to rouse in them such unreasonable anger as they constantly displayed toward Him. They hated Him, not for anything He said or did, but for who He was.
