And why is that great? Atheists who lump Biblical religion together with Islam and the rest are not acting as "brites" but idiots.

False religion can justify committing atrocities due to its corrupt "revelation," as is the case with demon-possessed Muham-ma d, or the medieval church of Rome in making the teaching the supreme law, and hindering the laity from personal reading of Scripture, and subjecting the Bible to serve her (stopping the spread of Islam was right, but not by the church making it a holy war to serve its ecclesiastical end).

Yet atheism can commit atrocities itself, as it lacks any supreme transcendent standard to which it can be held to, and instead whatever seems reasonable to the atheist's idea of what is best can be justified. As history testifies.

To kneel before God is necessary to stand before men, and many in this to be pro-God site do and thus counter false beliefs , and to not do so is to foster another false belief system with its consequences.
