It was no more useful then than it is now. Unless you think the provision of absurd answers is somehow "useful?"

It merely had less competition.

Welcome.

Damn, I was actually going to point this out too, but you got here way ahead of me.

Let me make this clear: atheists have the same potential to do bad things that anyone else does, but these events are usually isolated events down on the individual level. You're right that their disbelief is generally not the causation of their crimes, but we also should rule that out entirely. Things are never just black and white.

One of the big things that the religious try to pin on us are the bad things Stalin did, since he was an atheist. Even though his atrocities were carried out on a nationwide scale, his behavior was still his own, and many other men and women in Russia should not be held responsible for their leader's actions, much less the modern atheist community. Also, it wasn't his atheism that drove him to these things: he was simply batshit crazy.
