Did evolutionary theory cause anyone else to embrace atheism?

i was an atheist before i learned about evolution but think about it? The bible along with basically every high ranking christian representative will tell you that people were created by intelligent design and that the earth is only 6000 years old. Now for those who believe in these theories i feel sorry because science directly disagrees with these ideas. There are so many holes in religion that it is perfectly normal to question religion when science is such a logical and evidence backed alternative. Just think about your beliefs for yourself instead of believing what society tells you to think and i think you'll get your answer.
