I want to point out the "incidents" are over 23.000. most of these had many, many, victims, some 30 and 40 at a time.
Many possibly most of them being criminal acts.
There were over 1,000,000 violent crimes against people committed in the USA in 2012 alone. SOURCE
An additional 8,000,000 violent property crimes in the same year. This in a population of about 350,000,000
Would you consider that to be "Proof" the American way of life teaches violence?
Another way to look at in a 10 year period there were 23,000 acts of terrorism by 1.5 Billion Muslims. 1/5 the number of violent crimes committed by Americans in 2012 alone.
Looking at those figures one can present a good case that overall Islam reduces violence,
Who are more violent Americans or The World's Muslims?
Any culture that occupies will eventually overthrow the existing laws.
But there are several problems here.
The American, and western culture is allowing itself to be overrun, mostly by corrupt politicians selling out their country.
The public is constantly lied to, about the intentions of the written doctrine of the religion, and pretty much asking for what they will eventually get.
We will see Europe explode before it happens here.
Just in the last few days, after the fall of Obama, I am starting to see people speak out.
And you speak of atheism as a religion, which it is not.
Hopefully religions will be outdated within a few generations, and people can live without the fear of people bent on enforcing their religious belief's on society.
I was not speaking of Atheism as a religion.

Bad examples,
There are no statistics of crime in muslim countries, and many, many, crimes here are not considered crimes in Islamic countries.
Perfect examples are to look at crime state in smaller countries that bring in muslim immigrants, they hit the roof, with sex crimes on top.
Look at Sweden, the rape capital of Europe, with almost 100% being committed by muslims.
Look at the jails in European countries, and the muslim population there, it is disproportionate beyond belief.
Look at the jail muslim population in the UK.
All factual info says, muslims commit more crimes, it cannot be avoided.
Notwithstanding atheists who make a big deal about not believing in god, at a fundamental level atheism is just the negation of superstition.
More correctly what is perceived as superstition.
However, Atheism is an ideology. That ideology/doctrine being God does not exist.
