"First, I am an athiest-lol."

This is the religion entry from Merriam Webster...

2: a personal set or institutionalized system of attitudes, beliefs, and practices
3: archaic : scrupulous conformity : conscientiousness
4: a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith

As you can clearly see you have a religion and are most vocal about it.

"Do you know of a better system than a democracy?"

Yes, a benevolent dictatorship with me in charge...

FROM PLATO
"In Democracy, the oligarchs, or merchant, are unable to wield their power effectively and the people take over, electing someone who plays on their wishes, by throwing lavish festivals etc. However, the government grants the people too much freedom, and the state degenerates into the fourth form, Tyranny/mob rule."
