47. That wasn't the point in the link between religious sources, and religious implementers of violent

religious ideas.

The point was that atheists share no common source, and no common ideals. You get 10 different atheists in a room, you can get 10 entirely different worldviews on the topic of violence.

Most (but not all) of the typical religions in the world today are steeped in violence deep in their (claimed) histories. Looking specifically at the Abrahamic traditions, there are entire chapters in the old testament full of god killing people himself, people killing people at god's behest for what they thought, and people killing people at god's behest due to the physical space they occupy. Their source material gives them rules on when it is or is not proper to kill someone. Surely you've seen different groups of Christians wrangling over whether the bible supports or detracts from even the idea of Capital Punishment by the state?

To some degree, there's a sharing of doctrine/ideals from adherents to various faiths. An atheist can be *anything* because everything beyond the question of 'is there a god' is fully disassociated from their lack of religion. One lends nothing to the other.

A secular humanist, on the other hand, is an atheist that may share a great number of ideals.
An anti-theist, perhaps shares some with other anti-theists as well. I wouldn't bet on being able to enumerate too many of them though.
