[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Christians have to answer for their own crimes in the name of Christianity then atheist should have to do the same, in the name of atheism. There is no answer that is good enough for them. They would have you believe that mass murderers just happened to be atheist.

...sigh...

You theists are desperately clinging to your ideology.  I guess there is no dissuading you from that.

I'll say this yet again -- one more time -- but I know you won't admit it, even though I am confident you do understand.

The crimes of Stalin, and the ones linked to were done as part of COMMUNIST and TOTALITARIAN ideologies, and not because of atheism. Even the anti-religious ones.

Just like Nazi crimes were the result of antisemitism. They were not because of their Christianity even though "Gott Mitt Uns" was on their belt buckles and they quoted the bible as justification for them.

Atheists have no ideologies.  All they have is no religion.  Not collecting stamps is not a hobby.  You can have no religion and be a communist, or a capitalist, or a pacifist, or a mass-murderer.  [/quote]

Maybe YOU are one of the peaceful lovely atheists.  [b]But just like there are different kinds of Christianity, there are different kinds of atheism[/b].

In the philosophy of Marxism, Marxist–Leninist atheism (also Marxist–Leninist scientific atheism) is the irreligious and anti-clerical element of Marxism–Leninism, the official state ideology of the Soviet Union.[1] Based upon a dialectical-materialist understanding of humanity's place in Nature, Marxist–Leninist atheism proposes that religion is the opium of the people, meant to promote a person's passive acceptance of his and her poverty and exploitation as the normal way of human life on Earth in the hope of a spiritual reward after death; thus, Marxism–Leninism advocates atheism, rather than religious belief.[2][3][4]

To support those ideological premises, Marxist–Leninist atheism explains the origin of religion and explains methods for the scientific criticism of religion.[5] The philosophic roots of materialist atheism are in the works of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831) and of Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872), of Karl Marx (1818–1883) and of Vladimir Lenin (1870–1924).[6] Moreover, unlike Soviet Marxism, other varieties of Marxist philosophy are not anti-religious, such as the Liberation theology developed by Latin American Marxists.

No, atheists may vary, in terms of personality, but there are not different types of atheism.  It's a simple word that means non-belief in god.[/quote]
