Organized religion epitomizes the biggest crime against humanity. It has created divisiveness and killed countless beings. As we speak, another young generation is being indoctrinated everywhere, including at home.
Since the world was believed to be flat, we have accumulated enough evidence to show that supernatural scorekeepers like gods are extremely unlikely to exist. Yet, our nation is sadly the most religious of all industrialized countries.
We infest our children with propaganda inspired by Bibles and Korans. Because those texts are filled with contradictions, one's interpretation can justify any action.
Osama bin Laden was born knowing nothing about Allah. As he grew up in Saudi Arabia, he and his peers assimilated the Muslim faith. Fortunately, most remained moderate, but Bin Laden came to feel so strongly about his deity, he joyfully orchestrated faith-based attacks on the United States.
I say: Enough have innocently suffered or perished. The time has come to eradicate religion. Now isn't this worthy of a worldwide coalition? Let reason prevail.
Stop praying. Start thinking. Trust yourself. Kick the fairy tales out of your head. Imagine no religion.

It is also the country everyone wants to emulate.
Oh, now there's a well crafted refutation.
Really? We have evidence that God doesn't exist?
Please, show us how smart you really are by presenting such evidence
Hard scientific evidence.
Drum roll please!!!
Wow, a calling for a worldwide Jihad for the faith of Reason.
Please, show us how smart you really are by presenting such evidence
Hard scientific evidence.
Drum roll please!!!
Actually, the universe was created and is maintained by a supernatural computer belonging to the Lenks. They create many universes with their computers, and this is only one of them.
You probably do not believe in the Lenks, but the question is, do we have evidence that Lenks don't exist?
Please, show us how smart you really are by presenting such evidence.
Hard scientific evidence.
Drum roll please!!!
Well then, by your reasoning, I guess that proves the Lenks exist, huh?

So you think atheism is the cause of these murderous regimes? You don't think totalitarianism had anything to do with it? I assume, therefore, an Islamic totalitarian state would be benevolent, because it would not atheistic. Is that your view?
Unfortunately, your kind of argument tends to prove the premise that the religious tend to miss the facts.
Hank
The point he was trying to make doesn't miss the facts at all. We're talking murderous regimes here. If cruelty, oppression and murder occur under atheistic regimes (USSR, Nazi Germany, Cuba, Romania, China, Vietnam, etc.) as well barbarities committed in the name of religion, then religion can't be the cause of man's inhumanity to man. It has to be something else, don't you think? If you get the same results (inhumanity) using different variables (religion vs. atheistic regimes) then the variables are not what produces the result. Cruelty is perpetrated by cruel people, whether they use religion, communism or some other ideology as the vehicle.
Christianity brought to the rest of the world the idea that ALL human beings have value, simply because they exist.
