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.
Stalin was Eastern orthodox, was born one and died one. There was a period between 1924 and 1941 where he professed atheism, but he got rid of that when he needed the church.
Pol Pot was a strange blend of catholic and buddhist, born a buddhist and educated in catholic school. He never for one day gave up religion.
Mao was the only one who gave up any of what would traditionally be considered religions, but then again, he did try to build a religious cult with himself as the focus. He thought himself god.
Must try harder before you pin the sins of religious fucktards like yourself on atheists. Like finding some atheists, for example.
