After all, plenty of people - like myself - reject religion and do not go on to join other organizations dedicated to indoctrination and murder. And if even only a few people didn't find a new motivation for hatred, after religion was gone - wouldn't that make the world at least a little better?
Why? Simply why?
Who's some? The reason that you are an atheist and don't feel the need to join up with the next game in town, doesn't say anything. There are the so called new atheists, who again band together to form an exclusive, "enlightened", group. Sometimes even forming atheist churches.
The absence of one ideology doesn't change anything. If every other reason to kill should fail, which I highly doubt, there's still nationalism. And that certainly won't go away anytime soon.
