The problem is power, not religious views. Plenty of evil came into the world in the 20th C. espousing atheism

11. True, but they couldn't organize as well as religions

[Bucky]

16. I disagree with that, too

As a social novelty, the totalitarian Communist parties of Russia and China were remarkably effective at organizing their societies. Vietnam's Communist Party was able to organize half of a small nation enough to defeat three of the world's superpowers (France, the US, and China) in less than 40 years.

14. Exactly!

[Skittles]

2. how about just do unto others without any kind of religion

how about that

7. Exactly Jimmy Carter would be a good person no matter

what religion or no religion he was.

And the religious assholes would be assholes even without religion.

But one issue with religion is the bad ones use it to justify their horrible acts .

3. Humanist works out well.

[Duncanpup]

4. Yes

[Biophilic]

5. Wow, what a concept. Way too radical. Sorry Duncanpup way to radical an idea. nt

[Bucky]

6. Some people worship fear and hate and only call it Jesus

Religion is like a car. You can use it to enrich your life, or you can use it to run down innocent pedestrians.

9. And going to church makes you a Christian..

the same way that going to the garage makes you a car.

[Mary in S. Carolina]

12. I love this

[nancy1942]

15. Too funny.

10. Can't remember where I saw this quote

It was about the religious strife in Northern Ireland years ago, and went something like this:

"If the Catholics and Protestants would start thinking like atheists, then they could treat each other like Christians."

[Gore1FL]

13. All the atheists I know are kind and loving. nt
