That is true. But it's not very good company to keep( being lumped together with them).
I agree with the article (no suprise). I'm not suprised that people would vehemently deny it. That is to be expected considering.
"That atheistic communism has killed more people than any other religon has ever come close to!"
It's humorous to hear the less informed type of secularists try to paint themselves as morally superior by pointing out all the people killed in the name of religion. Secularists in the last century (the only century in which secularists ever held power anywhere) have killed more than all the religious wars of all time.
Then the Secularists say, "Oh but they weren't true secularists!"
But if I say of Medieval mayhem, "Oh, but they weren't true Christians, then I'm guilty of fudging.
