As far as our "philosophy hurting the world", Fuck off. The egotism, greed and self-righteousness of your religion
has done more damage to the world than any other.
Are you such a child that you have to pick disputes over words. You know what I mean, and it is true, marxism, communism, have their root in pure atheism. And every such state (that has banned religion, as they do) results in oppression. Just like YOU trying to ban religion, or should I say push away God. Wake up fool.
I'm childish? I'm sorry, I'm not the one believing in fairy tales. And, if look closer, the oppression started before the banning of religion. And should we look at the religious oppressive governments?
You know nothing about me, but you know I'm trying to ban religion. I'm trying to push away an entity I don't believe exists. You are arrogant, ignorant and full of shit. Typical American christian.

What is right and wrong for you? .... states based on atheism have no morality, only that that which is passed down from past generations past. As time progresses there is no moral law under such a system, only survival of the fittest. And how do you survive by following the strongest. An a strong one with no morals is a killer, as Kim is.
Only Jesus teaches "love", i..e "love your enemies" ... Kim teaches what ... nothing ... no morality ... only serve the strongest.
His teachings are a little more complex than that ... but I think you get my drift.
Ther are no states based on atheism, moron. Who gives a fuck what either teaches? And if you have to get your morality from a book, which I doubt if you have ever read, you're the one with the morality problem.

Or maybe that religion might be a desperate grasp as an escape from poverty?
Perhaps. Or maybe people who are poor recognize the need for God more acutely, whereas rich people take their wealth for granted. Humility is a virtue. Pride cometh before the fall.
Then hell will be brimming with american christians.
