Imagine how much more peaceful the Earth would be without religion. Religion is a scourge upon mankind.

No, just those who blaspheme it, regarless of their flavor, to visit violence or supremacy over others. Militant aethism brings its own scourges to the religious by employing similar tactics.

Our experiment in self-rule was inspired by the Christian faith and did indeed result in war. First there was the Revolutionary War which freed us from England. The Abolitionist Movement which was also inspired by the Christian faith finally succeeded in securing the freedom of slaves in the US. Of course that involved a war as well. When Nazis overran Europe and expanded a euthanasia program to include political enemies and undesired races which they murdered by the millions, Christians and Jews from the US helped to free them.


Seems you got it all wrong. Christians fight for freedom, but that doesn't mean Christains cause wars. Those who would deny others the God-given rights we enjoy in this country cause the wars which are fought to end their tyranny.


Atheist Communist states ever miss an opportunity to oppress free people?

Religion and freedom together, that's certainly an oxymoron.

I'll go so far as to say organized religion. True religon or faith isn't.
