| The_vagabond7 said: I don't really understand how "atheism" can be blamed for anything hitler or nazis, or anyone did. It's a grossly invalid argument because it isn't a motivating factor so much as it is just an aspect of who they are. Stalin and hitler both had mustaches too, did that motivate them or was it just something about them? Religion can actually be used to motivate people to do bad things even if it is "erroneous" use of the teachings (which is debatable). Good video about it. |
That video was so true. Sometimes with the anti-atheist debate that is often how it goes. A lot of people say that the major genocides of the 20th century were caused by atheism, when atheism was in fact not a factor at all. People have a poor opinion of atheists.
I'm actually reminded of this picture which seems to pop up regularly...
