Answers:  ATHEISM was not a reason for the creation of modern Israel.

Explanation/details:

Among the founders of the nation of Israel, some were very religious and some were not.  Early movements of Jews to Israel were motivated by religious Zionism.  "Zion" refers to the sacred site in Jerusalem where the temple had been located.  The main movement of Jewish immigration to the land then known as Palestine--based on old Roman empire name for the "Philistine" region--was motivated by secular Zionism.  It was a nationalist movement for the Jews to have their own state as an answer to prejudice and persecution against them (known as anti-Semitism).
