If atheists do not believe in a Creator, they cannot in good faith support a government instituted to secure Creator endowed rights.
It's like asking a vegetarian to defend abattoirs.

No Mao was not a white man and neither was Pol Pot, what they have in common is they're atheist and can kill anyone without punishment after they die....they have the power, they kill.
