The FFAF is an interfaith group where victims of militant atheism are free to share their experience without fear of harassment. http://www.ffafintl.org/

So, like AA - only the stories will be even more pathetic and intimate?

According to their page:

I think they really mean victims of public embarrassment by atheists.
They would need a support group after the rational drubbing we would give them.

Ok, I'm tired of sympathy and niceness - GO FUCK YOURSELVES AND SHOVE JESUS UP YOUR ASS!!!... Ok, that's done. Sincerely, I think equating atheism with communist and saying "atheism is evil" is as valid as saying "Hitler was a vegetarian, therefore vegetarianism is an evil ideology" - Curiously ultra-conservative creationists criticize evolution because they say it validated Hitler's ideology - I don't think this is wrong, Hitler did believe that some species evolved to superior forms - But still, that doesn't make evolution false (appeal to emotion)

The Catholic Church, in the person of the Pope, approved Hitler's invasion of the USSR, which is certainly the bloodiest invasion in human history. The Church called it "high-minded gallantry".

Indeed, but I don't think Hitler was very Christian, he probably did what was best for the masses... Our friend Mussolini was an atheist since he was a kid but he made good use of Catholicism. What I am saying is that even if Hitler based himself wrongly on Darwin to advocate racial purity and eugenics that doesn't (1)make evolution false (2) and creationism true. An idea can be very bad and still be the truth.

I can't know for sure how religious Hitler was, but he sure did have some misconceptions about race and genetics, he believed in creating the super-human Nietzsche theorized but misunderstood the former's idea completely - I don't know if Nietzsche was racist but he didn't explicitly advocate eugenics

In the case of science, there's many bad things that are truth - For example, cancer is a terrible thing but it exists, saying "evolution is bad because it leads to social darwinism" is the same thing as saying "cancer sucks because it can get you killed"

Fact his is Hitler was more of a true christian than all christians today. He had plan he followed the bible did what he thought what was good for his people and wanted to kill the jews and also there is other reasons behind it being that ww1 Germany's economy turned to shit. So as many people do not want Hitler and christianity be put into the same sentence yes he was a christian and he did rule with christian morals after all.

The political leader should not estimate the worth of a religion by taking some of its shortcomings into account, but he should ask himself whether there be any practical substitute in a view which is demonstrably better. Until such a substitute be available, only fools and criminals would think of abolishing existing religion.

I seriously doubt Hitler based himself on Christianity, but you can provide proof if you wish. There are religious racial supremacists, but I don't think religion is a determinant cause of bigoted ideas.

I don't think it matters if he was Christian or atheist, it matters what he did, he believed in the conspiracy theories about Jews ruling the world and controlling every major historical event; he believed Jews were out to destroy the Aryan race and so forth... I'm not a bible expert, but does the bible contain founding principles of Arianism and racial supremacy?

That is one of the reasons he thought because after WW1 he thought the jews were the reason why Germany's economy was in ruin. And till this day the mark is still suffering the effects of WW1 and WW2.
