Yes, Mao and Pol Pot were atheists ( Stalin wasn't) but atheists claim no moral authority. We have no book telling us how to live our life. Atheism is simply the lack of belief in gods, so killing fuck loads of people doesn't go against atheism, but it does go against christianity.
SO let me get this right...Christians do wrong because the bible tells them to do wrong and atheists do wrong because of the individual and not atheism. That looks like a double standard to me. It is what it is though.
I did not say that at all. Atheism makes no claims about how moral atheism is; it is just the lack of belief in gods, however, christianity does. You believe in your shitty book, you should prepare to be judged by it.
