"And in today's world, atheists are no more or less likely to act unethically than people who are formal members of a religion."

The first atheist state - Soviet Union falsified your claim.

But it doesn't falsify it at all. He allowed how as atheists are no more or less likely to act unethically -- therefore evidence of unethical actions in a antheist is is not proof that atheists are more unethical -- just as the Spanish Inquistion shows that Christians are capable of mass murder, does not mean Christians are all mass murderers.

Inquisition guilty of mass murder ?! Are you aware how many thousands were sentenced to execution in Inquisition trials and how many millions died in Gulag? You are comparing aples and oranges, give me a break.
