    Nope, what you are describing is one religion hating on another for not agreeing. Atheist haven't gone around burning religious people like religious people have done/ are doing. Religion is a problem, specially the organized kind.

    Your premise is flawed.
    Atheists: the group of people. - So not flawed.

    It seems like many if not most in this thread bashing religion, do not actually know what it means. That includes those treating atheist as some organization...

    Lol, I thought you guys were into actual evidence for your claims. Atheist anthropologist corrects this baseless dogma of yours, saying, "Moreover, the chief complaint against religion -- that it is history's prime instigator of intergroup conflict -- does not withstand scrutiny. Religious issues motivate only a small minority of recorded wars. The Encyclopedia of Wars surveyed 1,763 violent conflicts across history; only 123 (7 percent) were religious."

    Also, religion has been found to be a deterrent against violent behaviors and promotes pro-social behavior as found by meta-studies done again by atheist scientists(see: "Would the World Be Better Off Without Religion? A Skeptic’s Guide to the Debate" in the Skeptical Inquirer.)

    The empirical evidence seems to be against you in this regard, but don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to produce some anecdotal examples to help further your blind anti-religious beliefs.

    The only way an atheist is a hypocrite, is if they believe in God. Everything else is your inability to even understand the concept. Sorry...

    Atheist is not a group of people, it's not believing God. It means nothing else...

    A lot of the mods are on the west coast. QQ more?
