Atheists weren't responsible for the reign of terror. In fact the very thing he links only makes one reference to atheism as part of a very small anti-clerical campaign. Robespierre himself was opposed to Atheism, called it one of three evils in the world, executed Atheists during the reign of terror. Initiated the worship of a supreme being and had blood filled festivals to him. In fact both of the starters of the Atheist movement during the french revolution were promptly executed.
Somehow though this gets blamed on Atheism? Maybe you should do a little more reading.
When I started reading htis thread I thought "Wow, Blackrook finally said something with a grain of truth in it, even if his interpretation is fatally biased". Now, I'm rethinking even that. Has he said anything factually accurate? It's also obvious that he hasn't so much as skimmed any of the articles I presented... Wow, I just realized, I use ellipses a lot. I wonder why...
