Nonsense. Even the Moslems haven't killed as many people as Stalin or Pol
Pot, and those guys were atheists. When atheists start talking about teaching
your children your religious values is "child abuse," that people who believe
in God should not be allowed to vote or assemble or hold office, that people
who have "irrational beliefs" should be locked up on reservations or forcibly
sterilized, then you realize that it is not a problem of religion, but that
there is some innate desire in men to tell you what to believe, forcibly if
necessary.

Wow! This conversation has wandered a long way from piloting an AC-130.

All religions put together is what I had in mind. It makes little sense
to split one brand of superstition apart from another one.

When atheists start talking about [doing bad stuff]...

.... then they are doing bad stuff. Athiests are people too. They
aren't immune to evil, nor to groupthink. However they are at a
distinct disadvantage in pulling it off.

If atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby.
