Not sure what the racist Hindu Gandhi has to do with the pissing contest between Muslims and Buddhists, but OK.

I don't know how long you've been an atheist. I've been one for almost 40 years. Mostly, I just get tired of referencing folks like Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris when someone brings up people who have issues with Muslims and the religion of Islam. Gandhi adds to the argument whether you're pro-suicide vest or not.
