Though why you're whining to atheists about theists persecuting each other isn't clear.
Quote:If the Jewish community has a word, it's probably to say - "Hey, don't make the same mistakes we did and let someone else genocide you while 'academics' turn a blind eye or cheer it on."Even for you, that's pure nonsense. FYI, the Holocaust was a religious persecution that stemmed from centuries of Antisemitism from Christianity. Do you know who wasn't allowed in the SS, apart from Jews obviously? Atheists were not allowed...
"Heinrich Himmler was a strong promoter of the gottgläubig movement and did not allow atheists into the SS, arguing that their "refusal to acknowledge higher powers" would be a "potential source of indiscipline".
"The SS oath (Eidformel der Schutzstaffel), written by Himmler, also specifically denounced atheists"

Somehow this dink's pope-of-the-moment never got around to disowning this idea.
But how can we be moral without faith in god?
