Faith and Religion.

I'd say a good example of this is that Stalin did all the evil he did partly because he had a kind of anti-religious faith type delusion. For example - all the thought policing that he did.

I very well know that faith is much, much more common when part of religion, or the religious.

But I'd say considering atleast SOME people are influenced by faith, when they're not religious - whether thats anti-religious faith or not - I'd say that is still significant enough to make faith a bigger enemy than Religion itself, because faith after all, is what drives religion.

You can CERTAINLY be an atheist without faith. But you can't be religious without faith.

And as I said...if even Stalin is the only deeply atheist who was driven by faith, (i'd say he was a pseudo-atheist, not a true atheist) thats enough to show I'd say that the bigger enemy is faith.

Finally I'll repeat: You can CERTAINLY be an atheist without faith. But you can't be religious without faith.

The righteous shall live by faith.
The bible contains essential spiritual truths on how you may be saved.
