The Bible never ordered the slaughter of Muslims, Jews, Protestant Christians. Orders for those deaths came from men who used others' admiration of the Bible to achieve their own selfish or political ends. Religion is not the cause of all evil. Religions are often times the scapegoat for greed, and human cruelty.
Actually, Islam and Protestant Christianity did not yet exist in Biblical times. The Bible does order the killing of pagans, witches, homosexuals and other enemies of God........but thankfully, the Bible has no authority now, except in the small minds of evil, misguided humans.

That "excuse" can be (often is) used as a whole or part reason to attack another nation/civilization. But if you look (closely) through out history. One usually (in my opinion only, from my studies) does not find it is the "real" root reason/cause for alot of wars.

What makes you so certain that atheists are not conservative rather than liberal?
Yeah I think it's become kind of hip to blame religion for everything, but keep in mind religion has motivated a lot of good too. And I'm saying that as somebody who doesn't really believe in God.
