It would be amazing if we could somehow give theists a "day of atheism". Nothing weird, just kidnap a load and fuck with their brains or something. Just enough to remove their religious beliefs. Then we could see how many of them try and murder and rape all the people they see. I'd bet that all but any actual properly disturbed psychopaths would be surprised by their lack of action, and indeed urge. Then put their brains back to normal and return them to wherever theists go. A church!
It's like anything, if you're told you can't do it, it has some sort of weird appeal. But as soon as it's fair game, it loses that mystery and it's just dull.
It would be very interesting to force theists to go through their holy book and honestly highlight which parts they follow, moral wise, and which parts they don't. What percentages do you think we'd be looking at? About 5% of the former I reckon.
