    I can prove objectively that religion is bad for humanity. Can you do the same about atheism? There’s a huge difference between the two. We respect people, not their beliefs. If someone’s a racist, that’s a belief with just as much evidence (aka none/blind faith) as a religion. Do I have to respect their religions? I do think it’s really sad that these people died, though I view it as an easily preventable occurrence, and mostly the fault of those that partook. (The same way that I viewed the submarine)

      Sure… there’s a very large number of people that were killed by atheists like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot etc. There’s a large enough sample size to objectively prove that when atheists are in power they are as bad (if not worse) than religious people in power.
