By all means though, ignore documented evidence of the tyrannies and 1984 societies that _all_ atheist governments have become.
I certainly don't ignore it.
Not at all.
But the thing that separates brutal tyranny from benevolence, is not theism -vs- atheism.
It is subjugation of the rights of men -vs- respect for the rights of men.
There are plenty of theistic examples of subjugation and brutalization to go along with the atheistic ones.
Pretending otherwise, is silly.
I would certainly welcome replies from the opposition to the argument I presented. Got any? Didn't think so...
