Kinda like a pre-school version of the Abrahamic God you worship.

Interesting how the video made a number of assumptive statements, and then did nothing to back them up.

Seeing we have seen many christians on CD do the same, is that a christian trait that is aspired to? It truly cuts into credibility.

Read his book?
Watch his speeches?
Maybe listen to his announcements?

It's very clear that man was a Roman Catholic and much of his drive was his faith.

Ok, 3 big names in 2,000 years of carnage in the name of Christ, and let's not even talk about other faith systems. But you are right, I should have said "Almost always religious zealots that threaten religious freedom."

Who, Hitler? He made the schools take down their crosses and replace them with his picture. No Catholic would ever do that. There are books written about him and came to the conclusion he was his own God.

?

If they share the same absurd notions, my response would be the same to them.

He was a crazy Catholic with crazy ideas of how he wanted to worship his God of the bible. His moves against Christianity were political in nature and had everything to do with the Nazi Regime and specifically with the 30-point plan that wasn't even created by him. He also was against Atheists and free-thinkers alike.

The man was nuts, but he was driven by faith nonetheless.

All of the above is really beside the point however... him being an Atheist says nothing more about other Atheists than him having a mustache says anything about people with mustaches.

Clay Christensen on Religious Freedom
Clay Christensen,Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, speaks on the function of religion in democratic society.

Very important video I think.
And so, because of this Chinese economist's opinion, we must throw out the 1st Amendment and all have religion shoved down our throats? And this is "important"? How ridiculous.

Religious freedom and religious liberty? To quote a wise, fictitious man: "You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means".

We already have religious freedom and religious liberty. Please stop trying to take them away.
