The first step toward mutual respect between theists and atheists should be the recognition that most people on earth are surrounded by material structure and by spiritual superstructure.

Really?
Why not spiritual structure and by material superstructure?
Is not disagreement about which is which here what separates atheists and theists?
Is the spiritual made by the material or the material made by spirit?

In my own online essay [4] I wrote that according to traditional theologians God is responsible for everything that happens. An atheist, on the other hand, would say that human motivations and feelings must be explained scientifically, because God does not exist.

The first step needs to be for theists to stop lying.
God does not enter into scientific discussion because no evidence has been found for his existence.
Scientists do not say that he does not exist.
