I have faith that someday, a scientist will figure out the mechanism by which life is fairly 'obviously' going to arise in a 'naturalistic' way; as I think if God exists he's too clever to tip his hand like that ;-)
I'm fairly confident the most crucial elements which bring about life occur with ubiquity throughout the natural world. The most essential of these keys is self replication. We see this in rudimentary forms all over the place...in crystals..amino acid chains...snow flake symmetry and other fractals.. .memes..ect. Yes, DNA represented a significant advance over these relatively simple forms..but I'll go out on a limb and say that most of this advance is owed to a single mechanism which in of itself was a development of exceedingly simple elegance...random mutation.
Within this context of beneficially imperfect replication, we have seen arise limitless forms of explainable complexity.

I am fairly confident as well.

Religion can be very damaging, harmful but I'm not sure Atheism is the answer
the ex-muslims are interesting to listen to

I would rank Communism above Islam, as bad as commies were Islam is worse, the loss of Soviet ideas and fall of Afghanistan to radical Muslim thought made it one of the worst places on Earth, lowest education, worst life expectancy, terrible child mortality, 0.1 doctors per 1000 people, highests deaths, lowest GDP, worst health system, life expectancy at birth was 30.9 years in Afghanistan, worst secondary school levels and university levels, trash, disease, drugs....one of the ugliest most backward places to live
It's improved since the US invasion but drugs are up 600 hundred and 50% percent
