Well Maher’s religion-hate is stupid and dangerous.
Although Communism is one of the most well-known cases of atheism’s ties to mass murder, the French Revolution and subsequent Reign of Terror, inspired by the works of Diderot, Voltaire, Sade, and Rousseau (ATHEISTS ALL), managed to commit similar persecutions and exterminations of religious people and promote secularism and militant atheism.
Official numbers indicate that 300,000 Frenchmen died during Robespierre’s Reign of Terror, 297,000 of which were of middle-class or low-class.
Of the amount murdered via the guillotine, only 8% had been of the aristocratic class, with over 30% being from the peasant class.
Bill Maher of course ignores that... or is he ignorant of it?
