Before you fall into the old chestnut mistake of calling Hitler an atheist he was actually a catholic. In actual fact Josef Goebbels was the only Nazi excommunicated by the Vatican and that was for marrying a protestant. (Sod the Jews even our enemies the Muslims hate them!)
“Religion is an affront to human dignity, without it good men will do good things and evil men will do evil things, it takes religion for a good man to do evil things” Steven Weinberg
The difference between an atheist and a believer? The atheist has read the nonsensical claptrap that is the bible and the Koran, the believer listen like sheep to the preaching’s of them.
Firstly, in the Quran it does not say to slaughter all non-believers.
If you're knowledge of the Quran, the Bible and the Torah is from the internet or some obscure YouTube video, you may aswell stop now.
I dont even mean that in an offensive way. But the lack of understanding and massive misconceptions of most Religions is just shocking.
Secondly, i wasn't going mention Hitler at all. I do find it hard however to call him a Catholic, when there a huge disputes regarding his beliefs. It's safe to his Nazi ideology was his Religion.
I was going to mention Stalin and co. of the Soviet Communist regime. Which clamped down on Religion, especially in the southern regions of present day Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan. Where very communist-orientated feelings remain today.
Even in China, many people with Religion suffer direct punishment from the state. Not just the modern day, but through it's history of shifting dynasties.
I find your last sentence a typical stereotype from many Atheists.
Face it, the overwhelming majority of Atheists are just people of the Age we live in. An age where Religion is just an over stereotyped accessory in society.[/quote]
You have clearly read neither the Koran nor the bible. I have.
I could spend hours reciting verses and chapters from both and equally they are as divisive, racist, sexist, homophobic, genocidal piles of superstitious nonsense. Nonsense that perpetuates slavery, systematic child abuse and bigotry beyond believe.
Your problem my friend is you are falling into the only precedent in the world that is currently as dangerous as faith.....political correctness.
Try reading about Lot and his exploits, don't bother googling, that's lazy, try the bible Genesis 18:8 if memory serves, look up Moses, a great example of Christian charity, find out how many people in the bible God actually slaughters (purely for not believing in him) apart from the whole world in the great flood
When you've done that let me know how many people the other mythical being Satan kills in the bible. While you’re at it check who gives him permission.
Look up Muhammad, there are loads of works out there on him, just enlighten us on the age of his favourite wife, who he married aged 56. Maybe then you will understand why young girls are forced into marriage with blood uncles at the age of 9. Read some of the Koran and then you will understand why this type of thing happens

Just today Dr Usama Hasan an Imam from Leyton has been forced to retract a statement declaring that maybe Allah created life through evolution rather than a lump of clay because he was threatened with death.
Hang your head in shame and weep for that which you defend. Your ignorance makes you more to be pitied than scolded.
He used to be such a nice boy...
