Something about killing in the name of atheism

[Dystopia]

You seem to be missing the point.

We can point directly to various passages in the Bible or Koran, when taken literally, would lead a devout believer to kill in the name of their religion.

If you can name one thing in the in the position, "I don't believe your claim that a god exists. Please demonstrate your claim", that wold lead to kill, you'd be the first. Ever

I don't disagree, but then again, what makes you think that most Christians or Muslims even read the bible/quran? The only thing I can assume about a Christian is that they believe in Jesus Christ and going to Heaven. I can't assume anything else. I know lots of Christians who rarely read the bible.

From my point of view, I don't think it's impossible for a lack of belief in something to motivate killing - Specially considering that most religious wars happen because one side is atheist towards the other side's religion.

I don't follow the view that atheists are a magical group free from delusions with different brain patterns, we are a minority, but it's not unlikely that when we become the majority bad things can happen to theists. The guy who murdered 3 Muslims was against Islam and an anti-theist who had rants against religions. I see that as a sign.

I don't think lacking a belief leads to killing, but I think that if you believe everyone else should follow your lead then you can feel entitled to kill. What says in holy books is not as relevant as the nurturing you have. Someone who is preached by ISIS will most likely become a terrorist. Someone who grows up in a progressive Muslim household will most likely become progressive.

I also wonder if it's wise to discuss so often religious wars when the cultural mentality is entirely different in comparison - The crusades happened for a lot of reasons, but it was rational to spread the faith, and so it was to burn people for witchcraft.

There isn't anything with a single contributing variable. Is ISIS Islamic? Yes, of course. But it is not a coincidence that some environments (mostly war-zones where poverty, hunger and violence reign) create more Jihadists. It is also not a coincidence that experts are concluding the US helped the creation of the Islamic State by invading Afghanistan and Iraq.

Religion causes evil and wars, but so does money, economics, social views,oil, etc. I'm not in a position to say one is definitely a more contributing variable, only by analysing each case can we draw conclusions.
