You think believers have a greater respect for life than nonbelievers?

A nonbeliever never burned a "heretic". A nonbeliever has never lopped off the head of someone because they don't share the same faith. A nonbeliever has never flown a plane full of people into a building full of people. A nonbeliever has never strapped a bomb to their body so they could indiscriminately kill people who don't believe as they do. A nonbeliever has never hanged a "witch". A nonbeliever has never tortured a person who doesn't believe as they do. A nonbeliever has never caused a war to promote their faith. A nonbeliever has never encouraged a group of people to drink toxic kool-aid.
Your claim that believers have a greater respect for life than nonbelievers is sanctimonious bullshit.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
