Attn: Theists - What would it take to prove you wrong?

[Locke]

So you think that all the muslim countries are doing better than godless nations? Because I actually lived in one for a long time, and I think you don't know what religious oppression is like.

No.. I'm not even advocating all that, its pretty terrible too. Millions have been killed by religion, but many more by atheistic ideologies. It doesn't excuse religious persecution, but in the case of Christ's teachings, people taking up arms or persecuting people under the guise of Christianity are opposing what the Bible teaches. Hypocrisy among nominal Christians doesn't discredit Jesus' teachings - it shows how lost we are without them. Hypocrisy is a terrible thing, but it is man-made and has nothing to do with the existence of God.

I'm also not excusing Muslim methods at all - I'm Christian, not a general theist. No.. I was only saying that I feel Atheism is not a solid foundation, so I personally do not choose to follow it. That's to say nothing bad about atheists themselves, but while atheists act morally in spite of atheistic ideology, Christians acting immorally are doing so in spite of Christ's teaching. Without a doubt, I think the religious guise for persecution and immorality reveals the worst type of people, but thay doesn't make atheism a more valid philosophy. And hold that atheism is an ideology by the dictionary definition. Ideology has nothing to do with morality, per se.
