The Atheist Hatred

This is certainly true, unless that ideology does, in fact, promote or condone the crimes. Anyone who has read the Bible thoroughly knows that it does indeed do both things.

Quote:If someone in the 30s ascribed a justification of the Holocaust, directly, because atheism is true, that doesn't make atheism responsible for the Holocaust.

It doesn't, because that would be an untrue (indeed, non-sequitur) assertion. If, however, it was attributed to the ideology of National Socialism...

And then we have Vincent with -$1500. Select another category, please.

I'm of the opinion that any attacks made against religions be backed up with cited references.

It only lends credibility to your claims.

I'm glad to see you have backtracked on your initial position. But you still have a long way to go. Keep at it.
