This guy’s atheism didn’t make him commit the crime. There’s no atheist doctrine that demands the deaths of believers (unlike most religions). He’s just an unhinged dick. You could Just add Mr Hicks to the “Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao argument.
I don’t want this man’s crime laid at my feet because I am an atheist. Atheism did not advocate, facilitate or condone this act on any level. Let them find some atheist anti religious inflammatory literature and then we can talk.

I’d hypothesize that with religious adherence and belief becoming less common in the US, and the demographics of religious “nones” increasingly trending towards the general population distribution, that unsavory parts of the human experience (including murder) would also follow. I’ve a hunch that it’s more likely we haven’t been hearing about atheist murderers because atheists are an historically self-selecting small population, coupled with minimal publicity. I’m lastly a little confused by what you mean with “the greatness that… Read more »
