You don't even get to first base, do you. Religion (all religions, not just yours) is merely bullshit. Religious people can be - and the higher up they go in the chain the more frequently they are - miserable sons of bitches. As the saying goes "no one has ever been stoned to death by atheists."
Well if we want to look at the moral argument, when people blame religion for bombings and wars in general, they seem to ignore the tragic history of the 20th century, which saw more deaths from acts of violence and oppression than all previous centuries put together. These were systematically inflicted on millions of people by their own governments. Names like Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot have become infamous, all atheists. So to say that atheism is this harmless belief system, is very flawed indeed.
