Quote:Anyways, I just see this as another one of their defense mechanisms that creates an alternative motivation for not believing in god, because it's just too painful to admit that there is a lack of evidence and people can be justified in not believing.
In this article, this seems to be the case (namely that it is a defense mechanism), but it is in my opinion far-fetched and unnecessary to label all atheists as criminals (due to a lack of convincing evidence for this particular statement).
