In general, a man with religion is better than an atheist.

[Rev. Rye]

He is better because he is potentially less dangerous. A man with religion has his rules, and he does follow them form time to time, but an atheist has no rules. An atheist is only kept in check by what he can get away with and his imagination. For example, if an atheist were to have absolute power, then he could kill anyone that displeases him, but a man with religion, with absolute power, can kill only the heathens. If you are not a heathen, then a man with religion can't simply kill you because you displease him, but an atheist could. Also, if you are a heathen, then you could easily pretend to be a man with religion, and the man with religion, with absolute power, can't touch you. In addition, faking being a man with religion is pretty easy, but faking being an atheist is not so easy.

So, I take it, that governments no longer have laws in this scenario? And, by the way, religious men do kill people who displease them. As a matter of fact, some Muslims killed 3,000 people who displeased them about ten years ago in New York.
