NONSENSE. In my PhD dissertation research, I received from MM O'Hare, what was it titled . . . THE AMERICAN ATHEIST. or some such . . . I was shocked. Startled and shocked. Replacing a few keywords and phrases . . . would cause the publication to read like a PENTECOSTAL CHRISTIAN PUBLICATION and very . . .thoroughly so. Atheism and Scientism are "new" religions of all the usual garbage of RELIGIONS of every kind. There's DOGMA, PRIESTHOOD, CONDITIONING, PROSCRIPTIONS AND PRESCRIPTIONS ETC. ETC. ETC. But, hey, nice to see the opposition so horribly wrong in their assertions.
Thanks.

I have always thought that GOVERNMENT was the largest cause of unnatural death among humanities long and bloody history. It is true that many governments have been religious, or at least used religion to enforce law amongst the governed.

yes, it's called Democide. but the over all numbers clearly show the the athiestic communists and the regimes that strongly discouraged religion of any sort wre by far the worst. and for the fellow pulling "facts" from the bible, i really liked the "your precious bible" part...if you had read my whole post you would have seen that i do nt believe in the bible. look, i was very surprised to see the way the research turned out.
