This is true--and the big atheistic regimes of the 20th century saw Christianity and Judaism as challenges to State authority--the god of those atheistic regimes--and so atheism killed off the Christians and Jews.

It's not the fault of Atheism that someone kills people for a grip on power, and political mobility.

Atheism is merely not believing in a certain product of the human imagination, and that's it.

It wasn't merely for a grip on power. It was insistence that the State come first--above God or family. It was setting themselves up as objects of worship.

That's where (spiritual) emptiness leads.

Please read post #40.

Atheism is religious worlview. Like God-centered and agnostic, atheism is never politically, culturally, or religiously neutral.

One’s worldview ( atheistic, God-centered, or agnostic) will have non-neutral political, cultural, and religious consequences. These consequences are not neutral for the individual or for society.
