I believe atheist fanatics are actually of a religious nature. At least, they behave the same way.

According to Chrisopher Hitchens, Lenin and Trotsky were committed atheists who carried out their agenda to eliminate religion because of their atheism. (p 273 GING)

Death toll from the implementation of the poicies of the atheistically based Dialectical Materialism, 100 Million, give or take. (The Black Book of Communism, Harvard University Press.)

I don’t want atheists fanatics in charge anymore than theist fanatics.

Actually, it is only very recently that any avowed Atheists have come even close to the kind of power needed to cause havoc in the world, but it’s the religious fundamentalist nutters that are actually doing it.

Sometimes I wonder if the editors even read their own paper.

And the Thirty Year War? Atheists, pretending to be the Hapsburg Emperor. And Hitler? Like all pre-War Bavarians and Austrians, he was raised by atheists. Hitler-Jugend? No Catholics in there!
