There is a difference between murdering people in the name of God, and in the name of politics.
No leader has murdered because they are atheist, but there are plenty who have murdered because they are theist.

Actually, militant atheism has little to do with the individual. Nobody would care if theism was harmless, but as a whole, it is responsible for restricting education, perpetrating hostility and inequality and a long list of misdemeanors in the name of a unfalsifiable hypothesis proposed in antiquity.
Even the most pleasant theist in the world, still provides the bedrock of passive support for the extremist actions through shared belief.
Fundamentalists thrive on this passive support, even if their direct actions are not.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
