Do explain how killing in the name of religion is a logical fallacy.
Oh, and those 20th century wars? Motivated by ideologies other than secularism or atheism.
Oops. I must have been tired. I meant killing in the name of atheism when someone just mentions atheist because being atheist does not mean anything except for a lack of belief in God or gods (you can still be religious and atheist even). I apologize for my mistake.
Killing in the name of religion has been an excuse leaders have used to obtain power and wealth. That same mentality has continued into the present...instead of religion, we are tricked into believing we are encouraging peace and spreading democracy.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
