It's fine to have those feelings, and I have nothing against them. I just think it's narrow minded of you to view anyone who doesn't agree with you as a fool. There is no evidence whatsoever that time has no beginning and no end. So, in a way, it's simply your faith speaking. Some people have faith in God, and some people have faith in the cosmos going on for infinity with no beginning and no end. In other words, it's an unknown and unknowable. Why are people in your faith, so full of hatred toward those who are non-believers of your faith? That's what I can't understand. I harbor no malice toward people who don't believe in God. Why do atheists harbor so much malice toward those that do? Why would you even care what others believe? After all, you've already come to your definite conclusions. Or, does branding those that disagree with you as fools, somehow help to alleviate your lingering doubt?

If you are so sure religion is in decline, why are you so concerned about it? As we find new stuff and conceive new theories, throw out the old one, the god ones with it. They have outlived their time. I am quite thanful that ther are in decline. Actually, many of us do now concede any such thing. In fact we belive belive exactly the opposite. After all we readily concede time will go on forever, so it may have been going on forever already.
