It's not.

How many (well known) Atheists have been murderers, thieves, rapists?


Dahmer, Stalin, Kim Jong-il, Mao Tse-tung,

"If a person doesn’t think there is a God to be accountable to, then—then what’s the point of trying to modify your behaviour to keep it within acceptable ranges? That’s how I thought anyway. I always believed the theory of evolution as truth, that we all just came from the slime. When we, when we died, you know, that was it, there is nothing…"

-Jeffrey Dahmer, Dateline NBC, Nov. 29, 1994.

If it's not to be classified as a religion, then shut up. If it is to be classified as a religion, then go ahead and kill both atheists and non-atheists, everyone. Otherwise you just want another crappy publicly atheistic nation like those attempted in the 1900's.

Only four? That's all you could come up with?

I think this proves my point.

Also, Dahmer was insane. Do you think that if he were a christian he wouldn't have been a serial killer?

Why should I? I have as much right to speak as you, don't I?

Calm down.

Take a few deep breaths. Talk to your god if it makes you feel better.
