trmof - This discussion, debate or whatever this is supposed to be, started with you asking "is hard atheism irrational?", without you actually defining what you meant by "hard atheism". Based on the definition of "hard atheism" from google, and clarification in your later posts, it seems you are talking about "positive atheism", and that is NOT irrational, as it is a deduced fact from our current understanding of the world.
Then you proceeded to somehow indicate positive atheism is the same as "militant atheism" and some of the idiot sociopaths were sociopaths due to atheism, and thus positive atheists are more dangerous than religious people. So I am asking for proof on this point. I already told you how religion has been an active component behind many wars, terrorism e.t.c, however you are yet to show how atheism has actively caused any major atrocity. Stop dancing around the point.
We have already seen morality samples in religion, and how they stack up against man made laws. Take a look at the slaves thing, did religion stop that barbarism or did man? Look at charity, for religious people, free food at a church for the homeless means going through a brainwashing session first, atheists do it without any catch, which is more moral? Religion causes people to act morally out of fear of god, atheists act morally because they want to, which one is better? Religion makes one wait for miracles, science actively creates miracles, which one is more practical?
