BTW, if a person has no real definition on what spirituality is how can they learn from their own experiences?...
For example, in today's for the most part secular society, where if a person has any sort of spiritual experience, such as visions, that person is immediately labeled as being "psychotic", or having some sort of mental illness, or chemical imbalance.

Logic prevails is my answer. When you can weigh logic against logic there will be peace.
To me there is no logic in fighting over "my god is better then your god" - - and setting yourself up to be a political "group pawn".
I read parts - - will go read again.

Likewise these days freedom of speech is being used by certain groups to try to restrict the freedom of speech of others, and including to destroy the Republic and make it into something it was never meant to be.
BTW, I have seen what atheists are trying to do, and it has nothing to do with freedom to choose your religion...it has everything to do with making the entire nation secular/atheist.
Atheism gave us Communism. Communism is an atheist, and a materialistic point of view of the world, in which humans are seen as robots without a soul/spirit.
Yet Communism, an atheist belief, has caused more death in the 19th and 20th century than all world wars, and other conflicts from around the world put together.
Hitler murdered 6-10 million people, meanwhile Atheists have murdered over 110 million people.
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 have had visions and OBEs since birth. I told no one when I was a child. I understood I lived in a "fake" world. I played the game and bided my time until I could be in charge of myself.

Yet in a nation and society where you could not inform yourself, because all sort of spiritual books are abolished, and destroyed... in a nation where all forms of spirituality are forbidden because of atheism, you would have never learned what you experienced is all about....

It's lack of morality and education which has the potential to pervert most anything.

People aren't viewed as robots, rather as people...brothers and sisters.

Also, being atheist does not mean being a Communist, as many Libertarians are atheist as well.

Oh, Hitler murdered so many more. And this last statement is extraordinarily short sighted on your behalf, and not true in the least.
In sum the communist probably have murdered something like 110,000,000, or near two-thirds of all those killed by all governments, quasi-governments, and guerrillas from 1900 to 1987. Of course, the world total itself it shocking. It is several times the 38,000,000 battle-dead that have been killed in all this century's international and domestic wars. Yet the probable number of murders by the Soviet Union alone--one communist country-- well surpasses this cost of war. And those murders of communist China almost equal it.

Bottom line is, you need to be blaming human perversion instead of whether or not someone believes in God or not.

I'm sorry you had a difficult time. But you are still confusing Communism with Atheism and vice versa. Communism is being the God and using Atheism as a tool.

I never claimed that all atheists are Communists...what I said is that Communism is an atheist belief. After all it was made by atheists.
BTW, there is no God, none whatsoever, in Communist doctrine. At least in the original doctrines of Communism.
And Atheism not only tries to destroy religions, but any sense of spirituality within individuals. An atheist world would be a world of robots, where people are not spiritual beings, but are only biological and materialistic.
Obviously you don't know much about Communism, since there is a belief that a "permanent revolution" must exist...
Communism is the oposite to a peaceful existence... There must ALWAYS be a struggle, and Communists must always fight against those who want a better way of life, or a different way of life from Communism...
Yet education, through indoctrination can also pervert people into believing what a few want the mayority to believe.
When there is no spirituality there is a lack of morality since to such people we are just biological entities like any other.
Yet even humanitarianism lacks spirituality.
No, but Communism is an atheist belief. It was formed by atheists, and it is meant to make nations completely secular, for individuals to lack any form of spirituality.
I posted evidence to back what I said...

In conclusion: I'm sure that living in a place where religion is outlawed is just as bad if not worse than living in a place where you are forced to follow one religion
