"atheism does have a good point that our moral decisions are better in our own hands in a rational mode of thought rather than in foam-mouthed religious frenzy or irrational doctrines"

Again, this fallacy that the only irrational doctrines are religious ones!

It's very easy to use stereotypes about religion when constructing arguments against it, because the extreme examples of it are so comical.

But what about the people who are not foam-mouthed or irrational? And what about that type that is divorced from religion, but finds all sorts of other irrational doctrines to advance? You don't need God to be irrational!

How many people out there would call themselves spiritual, but not religious?

Putting the whole world into two oversimplified camps of 'atheist' and 'faithful' may be correct, but only superficially.

People are so much more!
