Are you implying that atheism is a cult of personality with a god-like dictator leading us all? Like Dawkins? Because if you are suggesting that, you would be very wrong

Well it really depends on the atheist. Many have allowed atheism to become just that....they replaced one religion for pretty much another one.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

I'm sorry but you are wrong. Tomorrow, Richard Dawkins could renounce atheism, say he's seen the light and he was a fool for not believing. And see what that does to atheism and atheists. The answer would be: nothing. Every atheist gets there on their own. Mainly through observing the evidence, not blindly following a leader. Granted, a lot of atheists do like Richard Dawkins and listen to what he says but that's only because he provides so much evidence against religion and the existence of deities. If he converted to christianity tomorrow, it would have no effect on atheists at all, except to piss us off.

Well, if I had to prove that atheism was such a motivation, then I would have to call into question most of the wars attributed to Christianity and Islam.

North Korea is ruled by the spoiled brat descendants of a revolutionary who ran his country into the ground by preferring maintaining an all-encompassing cult of personality to actually feeding his people. Atheism is the least of their problems.

How anyone can think anything other than Islam is beyond me. Suicide bombings are a tiny part of what is wrong with Islam. How about women's rights, how about wide spread riots AGAINST the freedom of speech? How about the enslavement of domestic workers in Saudi Arabia or the frequent acid attacks against unfavored wives in Pakistan? How about the frequent death threats and assassinations against authors and artists by Muslims in the western world or using death as a punishment for apostasy, homosexuality and atheism that is common in the Islamic world? Like I said, suicide bombing is a tiny tiny part of what is wrong with Islam. that the Tamil Tigers are also shitheads doesn't mean anything about Islam and how fucking shitty it is for the world.
