You refused to do so. Try again.

As I said before, atheists may subscribe to many different ideologies. There is no single ideology intrinsic to atheism.

Many people have done terrible things, Christians in no way excepted. 

Blake was aware of this, and thought we should honor those who don't do terrible things, but good things. He wrote:

Quote:“The worship of God is, Honouring his gifts in other men each according to his genius, and loving the greatest men best; those who envy or calumniate great men hate God, for there is no other God.”

I apologize for the sexist language; it was the 18th century. Today I'm sure he would say "great people."
