I don't know if you all have seen them: https://www.facebook.com/FFAF.International

They are trying to paint a picture of atheists being equal to communism. Then based on what Stalin, Pol Pot and other mean dictators have done, prove that atheists are militant and evil.

I don't think atheist ideologist actually is a term. Atheism is purely the rejection of one or more religions based on the lack of valid evidence. It is pretty individual, but they are often united by their faith in reason. And while Stalin, Pol Pot and many other really mean dictators have done some horrible things, I don't think you can blame it on atheism. They are far more known as communists then anything else. Not that I blame communism either. And an atheist can just as well be a communist as he can be a capitalist. So could a catholic. The reason that religions gets the spotlight when we come to war-crimes is what certain fanatics, religious leaders and religious states have done in the name of the religion. And while you cannot blame the religions for what certain individuals have done, you can blame religious denominations for having a supportive attitude towards or not condemning those people and actions

Yeah, it's just another group that pushes the idea that atheism = using the government to destroy your religious rights. More babble that will only be attractive to the people that already beieve it, so I'm not that worried about them.

Well would you look at that. It's one of the more extreme things people try to say is the same as atheism that I have on my website:

Fricking morons.

I think some atheists would see religion totally banned. But then who can blame them for thinking like that sometimes...

But really, I can't with these people who think being told they can't force their religion down peoples' throats is an encroachment of their religion. Be religious, we don't care, we just don't want it in our lives.

Quote:The FFAF is an interfaith group where victims of militant atheism are free to share their experience without fear of harassment.

Yeah, because those in the majority need to be protected from the minority looking for equal recognition.

Those atheists are up to 20%! Protect us from the tyranny!

Religious fundamentalists will always be ignorant. Cannot fix that, unfortunately.

Couldn't have said it better. (I would have been slightly more profane)

They give me Pol Pot, I raise them one Hitler. If the Pol Pot shoe fits atheism, the Hitler shoe is tailor made for theism. He came recommended by protestants and catholics alike and even the Vatican sang his praise at times.

Yes, Hitler did uses religion in his rhetoric and as a means to gain power. The only problem with Hitler is that he probably was not a religious person himself. I don't know if this is true, but I think that he even had a future plan to demolish religion as a whole.

But still we can still blame them for praising him forward. That would be great.

It's views like these that make me want to wipe out tens of millions of believers in a pogrom of death, destruction and human misery.
