Doesn't atheism cause problems, not religion?

[ninjakitty]

duude..... get ur facts straight. and take ur head outta ur a** and stop tryin 2 call down atheists

[ArtemisJones]

People say that religion cause all problems. But look at communist China, Hitler, Stalin, North Korea. All atheist. All have killed more people than any other events in history -- combined.
Hitler WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN. I don't understand -- truly, I don't -- why people even put forth that argument.
And as for North Korea -- it isn't Buddhist!! Really?

Steve H. -- No he's not. And I'm talking about murder, war, not famine and disease, you moron.
Holden Caulfield: The Holocaust WAS NOT BECAUSE OF FRICKING RELIGION. Why do you guys not see this? Just because Hitler called himself a Christian doesn't mean he was!

???????: Christians aren't perfect, idiot.
Michael K: So anyone can just claim that they are a psychologist, and that's what they are? Or a basketball player? Or a CHRISTIAN?? Yes Hitler claimed that, but OF COURSE he was not.
Jayden's Aunt: Communist China, Stalin, AND Hitler all killed those who were religious! How can you claim otherwise!? Ever heard of religious persecution??!
Jayden's Aunt: No, actually they were killed for being Christian. In China (back 100 years or so) Government officials would barge into houses that held Christians and would torture them. Read up, man.
Danny Ravencroft: It also says in the Bible that the Jews are God's people. So Hitler either didn't read the Bible, or chose to ignore it and alter it toward his beliefs.

Hitler was not an atheist. Those who believe he was do not know history.

[Qureshi]

i believe there only 2 types of people. good people and bad people !!

all of us fighting like this cause problems !!! we should open heartedly search for knowledge stop accusing each other !!

[TransitionalSpeciesIII]

Why can't you accept that Hitler was a christian and killed in the name of your god.

The folkish-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially of God's will, and actually fulfil God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated. For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their abilities. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will.

[Scourge]

Not one of the regimes you mentioned killed anybody due to atheism.

[Keyring]

Hitler specifically said that atheists were to be eliminated from his State. Do your research.

If there were more people around in the Middle Ages, many, many more would have died in the name of religion than in the name of Communism. Don't see your point.

[Flyingspaghettimonster]

hitler was catholic, north korea is buddist, and atheists have really low crime rights.

[RaiderDuck]

Even if Hitler and company were atheist, they didn't kill people BECAUSE they were atheist.

On the other hand, the 9/11 Hijackers, Inquisition Popes were religious, and killed people because of their religion.

[TheCanadianAtheist]

Wrong again.
Atheism is simply the understanding that ALL gods are imaginary. It has nothing to do with totalitarian regimes. That's an asinine straw-man argument that isn't worthy of a 10 year old.
Oh and for the record, Hitler and Stalin were both christians. Pwnd.
