It wouldn't and couldn't be for atheistic reasons but unlike atheism religiosity is a motivator. If you seriously wish to dispute that then I'm done with this debate.
Are you seriously trying to tell me that suicide bombings are not remotely motivated by Islam and if ISIS were all atheists the result would be exactly the same?
So if it can be done for atheistic reason you don't need the club. I warn atheists too, not to go around claiming "when we get to be the majority, we will treat you better. When Stenger says we are doing it, he means atheists as well. "Atheist" is only "off" on god claims. Not even that word will determine if an individual will act in kindness or violence.
