I ask this because a lot of atheists I know think religion is the root of evil. Most of the atheists I know would prefer if religion just disappeared, so I'm guessing they would make it illegal in a heartbeat.
No.
As a cynic, I'm inclined to believe that people are the root of all evil. I have no compelling reason to believe that the non-religious in general are less self-serving, bigoted, and prone to dangerous group-think than the religious.
So I'd just as soon choose the Devil I know, if it were up to me.
