"Atheism, not religion, is the real force behind the mass murders of history"

Here's a gem:

The problem with this critique is that it exaggerates the crimes attributed to religion, while ignoring the greater crimes of secular fanaticism. The best example of religious persecution in America is the Salem witch trials. How many people were killed in those trials? Thousands? Hundreds? Actually, fewer than 25. Yet the event still haunts the liberal imagination.

That's the best example they can think of American religious oppression? Hmmm, what about the justification of slavery based on the bible? What about Manifest Destiny? What about the KKK? I mean Salem? Give me a break. That's old news.

Then there's his conclusions:

The crimes of atheism have generally been perpetrated through a hubristic ideology that sees man, not God, as the creator of values. Using the latest techniques of science and technology, man seeks to displace God and create a secular utopia here on earth. Of course if some people - the Jews, the landowners, the unfit, or the handicapped - have to be eliminated in order to achieve this utopia, this is a price the atheist tyrants and their apologists have shown themselves quite willing to pay. Thus they confirm the truth of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's dictum, "If God is not, everything is permitted."

This farker has the best reply:

Yeah, nice try bud.
