This is something I am observing at the moment and I could be incorrect in my observations and also leaving out some others who may wish to be noticed but I am currently trying to develop a (excuse me)... "my" own special theory of the "Evolution of Being"

I disagree wholeheartedly.
Children are born as atheists, indoctrinated into theistic belief systems, and then choose their own paths once they hit a certain age. Your value as an individual isn't decided by whether or not you choose to be an atheist or a theist but rather by the actions you take towards other members of the human species and the world around you.
