The ones on some American site called Huffingtonpost (it's a site that sadly has diminished itself to the level of Fox News with its journalistic incompetence) who claim religion is the source of all evil.....I've seen enough evidence to point to humanity actually being the source of evil.....really not a hard thing to understand from an atheist perspective actually since the claim is religion is man-made in and of itself.
I also concede to the fact that most people who adhere to religion are not evil, nor are they a part of some plot, they are simply fooled and mislead by the dogma.
People are the root of evil, and aren't just limited to using religion as their tool. That being said I still think that it's the worst weapon we have ever used on ourselves and by far the most dangerous.
