This is news how, exactly?
To be fair, it seems to be news to some of the people who replied to him and seem to consider him subhuman by virtue of the religion to which he belongs. I thought the initial post was kind of pointless...until I saw some of the replies. Then I realized this is not a place where you can assume a Muslim gets any benefit of the doubt on the grounds of common humanity.

I never said that an atheist would never do good ; my theory was that under certain conditions, atheism would guide its follower to be more inclined to do bad since there is no believe in an after death judgement dictated by atheism.
And until you rid yourself of this notion, you'll be just as bigoted towards atheists as some atheists are towards you. We're no more inclined to bad than any other demographic: arguably less if you go by our prison representation, but I consider that a temporarry artifact of current conditions.

You think everyone who worked on the A bomb was an atheist?
