I didn`t and I dont think anyone in this thread did.
The muslim world, to me is one perfect example of how much can go wrong in a modern sociaty if organized religion has to much influence in sociaty.
Would a sociaty with so much christian influence realy be that much different?

I have never murdered, nor threatened to murder nor eaven demanded the murder of those who were atheists and left atheism to join a faith.
Out of wich ever part of your anatomy you pulled this, you can shove it right back there!
Atheism, unlike religion, has no dogma, and is mainly based on individual thought process and rational conclusions out of observations. There is no "holy book" nor "pope" in atheism who tells me what to do. I decide for myself and arrange my actions arround what I believe to be moraly correct.

I dont know what the numbers are, and honestly I dont think they are that high. I live near where the western world borders the muslim world and have encounterd a lot of muslims, and what all seem to have incomen is a superiorior complex, that although their countries are in most cases third world tyrannies, they still believe their sociaty to be supirior on the baseis of their faith.
