Any group that gathers together for "same belief" - - can be preyed upon and politically manipulated.
Although there are some Atheist groups - - - they are far and few between.
Atheists are far less likely to be manipulated to commit any act they are not willing to take personal responsibility for.

Athesists always seem to come off as elitist or proclaim themselves as intellectually superior and of a stronger mind. Spewing off dribble that suggests religious people are weak minded.

Let me give you another example, african warlords. People who were kidnapped as children and grew up without any spiritual teaching. They were, and still are taught to believe in materialism, to kill or be killed.

Actually I was born in Cuba.. One of the many Communist dictatorships around the world. In Cuba, like in all other Communist dictatorships religion and all forms of spirituality were abolished.
Children, including me, have been, and continue to be brainwashed and indoctrinated into believing that Communism is supreme and it is an utopia...
I lived and experienced Communism, the atheist belief which Karl Marx and so many others, apparently including yourself, belief is so perfect and humanist...

Has anyone else noticed the "aggressiveness" and "line drawing" of the religious crowed in this thread?
Remarkable.

So God has to be taught.
Having spiritual faith is not inherent in God's creation - - - but must be taught by man?
And Atheism not only tries to destroy religions, but any sense of spirituality within individuals.

Now let's see, thread started at 13:18 and last posting to thread was 18:00 (less than five hours). Has anybody really read the document referenced? What I see hear is both Christians and atheists "shooting from the hip". No one can tell me that they read Gregory Paul's thesis and looked at his conclusions in that time frame.
i stand corrected

i would like to see some research of that
The study is propaganda because atheism has murdered more people in the 19th and 20th century than what all religions, and even world wars and other conflicts combined have done.
i really wouldnt know anything about that im not a rascist but it could be true who knows? i mean long ago everyone was black then a certain grup evolved into white people
There are also so called "research" that shows that black people are less intelligent than white people... which is nothing more than another form of propaganda, in this case white supremacist propaganda...
There are other so called "research" which are used to try to push for a particular belief, or another... and the ones found at the op is nothing but propaganda to try to push for atheism...

Have you seen the movie Jesus Camp? Those are real people who vote in this country.
The "Pledge of Allegiance" - including "under God" is mandatory in most public schools in America - - starting with Kindergarten.
If you don't think kids in this country aren't being brain washed and indoctrinated - - think again.
Fortunately - - Atheists and others can fight these indoctrinations in our court system.
Communism is the politics.
