+1! I wish more people could see that instead of saying that it all needs to be eliminated! Come you sure as hell know that southpark for tells the future! United Atheist Alliance, Allied Atheist Alliance, And the Unified Atheist League will bring destruction to this world worse then Jews, Christians, or Muslims could have done with their Fighting!

Very true. I also think religious driven violence is nearing its final years. I think people who do comit violence in the name of Religion are coming closer to realizing that the people who are enticing them to do it, have political motives and are not holymen. But just like with South Park people will always find something to fight over, even when religious extremism is dead.

I just hope more people do realize that.

Violence in the name of atheism will never be historically significant.

I will say that I would prefer religion to be eliminated- But I am too much of a realist, and I welcome this news of moderate Muslims. Hopefully it may quiet some. Muslims the world round have condemned extremism (despite there being no requirement for them to do so) numerous times, but it is finally making bigger headlines than it usually does.

I understood about 80% of it without the subtitles.

hahahahahahahahahahaha! Omg, you made my day with that. Ever heard of Stalin? Hitler? --__--

What do they teach in schools these days? Besides how much importance teacher's unions and unions in general are of course, I'm sure.

Really? That's the best one can try?

Understandably, I can see where you are coming from, but the bottomline is that violence in the name of atheism, as religion has caused so many times, is far different than violence committed by atheists. Additionally, the soldiers of these dictators were not blind and violent followers to someone's faith (despite there being no faith in the leaders), but either conscripted, or at the worst, volunteered to follow the principles of the dictator's wishes, which was not always atheism. Stalin did indeed persecute religion at times, even harshly, but it was not entirely historically significant, nor a definite violent attack of atheism. It can be said that it was anti-religious persecutions- In any case, religion still did well in the Soviet Union.

I find your second paragraph highly ironic, if not the most ironic thing I've heard in the last month. I'm a history major at Simon Fraser University.

haven't seen the day you're able to actually reply intelligently to a post. Try again next time.

I didn't know that was in the name of atheism. Maybe you have some 'special' source, available only to reactionaries, I'm sure.

Ermm, do you honestly think that goons will say "IN THE NAME OF ATHEISM, DARWIN BLESS US!!11!"?
I might as well pull out a source on how to wipe your ass in the morning.

Of course, that might come in handy for some people who treat their mouths like the hole in the buttocks--with little thought and care.

Meh, I didn't feel like explaining, it's so much more fun getting hot air from so little effort.

Stalin, Hitler, and Hungarian revolutionaries all stunted religion. Hitler was an atheist and wanted peeps to worship themselves, through him. Stalin saw religion as a threat to his regime, and sought to murder orthodox priests. The Hungarian revolutionaries preached communism as the new 'religion' and encouraged fornication and other anti societal things to make communism, or the Eastern European form of communism, which is really constitutionalized socialism more easily accepted--when you're not tied to the person you had sex with, you would most likely cut the primitive ties you had, and run off--leaving people dependent on the government.
I bring this up, because marriage is seen as a religious obstacle by these communist Hungarians.

There was a rather attractive woman in that video.
