      An example of why Atheists care about religion

      This is what we are combating at home.

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaUl6x1YXpg


      This isn't Westboro, this isn't Muslims, this is a a rep with power and influence and strong Christian morals. Warren Chisum is the purest example of an enemy of reason and human progress.

      I know a lot of Christians also find this guy repulsive and I'm happy that not all Christians are sexually-terrified bible-thumping dictators. But this is an example of why we (not speaking for all atheists) want to eradicate religion.

      PS. rather entertaining vid also

      Haaahahahahaha!!! Yes, an excellent example.

      I'm curious as to why anyone would want to be associated with the same religion as him...

      I agree that there are many fools who use religion as an excuse, but would you try to kill ALL religion just for that? Just about any orginization can be used to hurt ...

      What does which is more common have to do with it? Guns kill as do knives.

      It also extorts and enslaves.

      It is also based on entirely illogical premises and promotes living a restrained life in promise of paradise after death, it also is a general illusion cast over the eyes of most humanity.

      In general a negative thing worthy of eradication

      His kind of extremist would find something else to rant about if there wasn't religion.

      Meh. As long as Christians are actually thinking about what they're doing, and why, and don't try embarassing humanity with 'God because banana' craziness, I'm marginally content.

      Yes, yes. All us Atheists hate Inbred, backwoods, bible-thumping hillbillies of the YOU-ES.

      Precisely. This is how theism allows the use of God to be a justification for what would otherwise be selfish bias pontificating. You would not adhere to someone who said, "Kill in the name of me". However we can get atheists saying, "They had it coming" or "I killed a faithful person because of how religion is bad for X reason" they can still be logically, and very easily, proven to be selfish, irrational, and wrong. Leading to indictment. However, a faithful person has much more leeway to weasel in a murder like that of abortion doctors.
