There is no ideology involved with atheism, and any ideology which people use to justify any actions are not atheism. Thus atheism is no more dangerous than a lack of hair, or a preference for chocolate ice cream over an intolerance for pistachio. If you want to discuss ideologies as motivators for hatred and murder, don't do it in the atheism subforum. After all, it makes just as much sense as discussing baseball in a forum devoted to bakery.
I notice you still didn't acknowledge whether Dahmer was a man of faith like you or you are an atheist like him by dint of you holding the exact same opinion.
Stimbo, what makes up a person ?
If you believe in god, you'll pick up a religion.
If you don't believe in god, you'll pick up a different ideology other than religion.
Then if you're just an atheist, your action would be either to go akimbo like Dahmer, or pick up an ideology to govern your life even if that ideology is your own invention, if that's the case, then it was influenced by another ideology. How do you differentiate between what is right & what is wrong without laws & ideologies ?

What kind of question is that ? forcing me to two choices which are a production of your own mind, rather than the true possibilities ? that's more like an MCQ without the right answer.
Add the possibility that Dahmer reached a conclusion based on logical thinking that he did, which I agree on, it doesn't mean I'm an atheist, it doesn't mean he's a man of faith.
It doesn't mean I have the mentality of a serial killer, it also doesn't mean that he had the mentality of a muslim !
Just like agreeing with darwin on evolution, it doesn't mean I'm an atheist, it doesn't mean that darwin was a muslim.
So your turn now, to agree with you on a single thing, means that I must share your same faith ?
