And that is why I never play the Hitler card in religious arguments, unless my opponent tries the Stalin/Mao card. I think we had an argument like that here. I said that since atheists do not share any common guiding principals you can't link the acts of one to the acts of another and find a root cause.


My school has an Atheists/Skeptics club. We have a token christian member. He got backed into a corner by the head of religious studies department (a former evangelical Calvinist christian turned atheist) and then argued that without Christianity he would rob and murder us. We asked him what kept us from doing that and he was quiet. It was funny. But what kind of idea is that? Atheists don't kill and steal, at least not out of proportion.
