Precisely. Atheists have no default dogmatic text to misinterpret. The religious texts are full of execution orders that can be interpreted and misinterpreted as many ways as the number of fallible Humans who can read them.

I never understood how people can take the so called violent verses out of context.

For example, the one that is stated to abrogate all the peaceful verses, the same Surah it is stated to specifically not fight the disbelievers that remained true to their treaty. So obviously there is no universal command to kill all disbelievers in the world.

I don't know if it's logically possible to take into consideration all the verses and come out with a non-peaceful interpretation of Islam.

I think if one is to believe in the whole book, it has to be peace.

The Bible also says blessed are the peace makers. Again, I'm not to well versed.

But I know the Quran said to stop fighting when the other side wants peace.
