An interesting question which shows the difference between atheists and Christians. Bunnies do not have a soul, humans do. This sets us apart from the rest of nature and makes human life more valuable and due the respect demanded by God. It is this difference in viewpoint that tells Christians not to be racist, not to kill fellow humans - because they are children of God. The atheist has no such problem and can discriminate as he pleases down to the ultimate of discrimination - killing those he dislikes. When there is no rule, no respect for human beings as human beings, then discrimination, and the ultimate discrimination, mass murder, become options against those who are somehow inconvenient. The racist always tries to belittle those he dislikes and makes them less than human. To a Christian, it is impossible for any human to be less than human, to an atheist, it is very easy. An atheist can just call the object of his hatred a 'lower species' to justify his murderous intent.
