Yall are so quick to blame religion for evil deeds (and rightfully so a lot of the times), but when an atheist starts killing religious folks, destroying churches, taking away people's freedom of religion, and trying to make his country atheist... All of the sudden his atheism has nothing to do with his motivations? Come on...
Thank you for elaborating. Theism is not the cause of any wars. Mere belief in the existence of some sort of deity is not a position from which motivation can be derived. More is required. No one ever killed the infidel in the name of a hazy feeling that some sort of supernatural creator exists. No one kills in the name of mere theism. And no one kills in the name of mere atheism, either.
Atheism (and theism) are not in the same category as religion (or ideology).
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
