You get a 💯 for semantics. It's actually pretty cute.

You cannot just separate institutional ideology (say, communism) from its leaders' personal atheism. You're casually pretending that "all the bad things Stalin did were because of something Marx wrote about the proletariat, but we must separate Stalin's fealty to Marx from Stalin's personal atheism, because Stalin's atheism obviously provided him with a perfect moral compass, because atheism is like that. Or something." That's ridiculous. Can you explain what your atheist leaders were doing, and where we can see their atheist morals in action, during Mao's cultural revolution?

Also. There may not be an "atheist handbook" ( as if that were some key criterion), but we see you guys arguing for what you call "athiesm" (sic) every single day on DCUM, so the drive for conversion is definitely big among "athiests" (sic). And fwiw, some of the dumb weekly "gotchas" definitely give some atheist pub saying, "Here, try out this unanswerable gotcha on the people of faith you know!" whether or not that's actually the source of these (often ignorant) weekly gotcha posts.

Hitler was atheist.

In some countries you have to declare your religion before entry. Very likely they are tracking to make sure they maintain the distribution of religious people they want. Some groups don’t mix well with others And over subscribing to them population wise is risky

So, you have no answer to pp's point about atheists who lead criminal states.

How is it left field? It seemed pretty on the nose.

The group was funded by Sudan to wreak havoc and adherents were manipulated to commit atrocities because of their faith and fear of reprisals. The point stands that religion makes it easy to manipulate people for money, power, and politics, and [b]this is why non-believers have such resentment towards religion. There are examples from every group

NP. And there are examples of manipulation and atrocities committed by every atheist group and ethnicity. Your point?

It’s just in some people’s nature to be mean and nasty. Then religion gives them an excuse: “kill the infidel“
