How is claiming that religion enables justification (and prompts) violence towards people based on their beliefs on gods while atheism is agnostic to peoples' beliefs on gods relative to whom violence should be directed a stupid argument?

Firstly, that is indeed what he was claiming, but he doesn't seem to know it. (EDIT: I was wrong about that one)
Secondly, it IS a stupid argument. Saying "religion enables justification (for) violence" is not the views of someone with a little wisdom. Surely you can see that the,
race, nationality, religion, language, culture...etc. al
Over which wars have been fought, and over which we all constantly fight every day (on a smaller scale and less successfully than Hitler for instance), are all just designations for the exact same principle.
No my friends. If you were to actually think about this properly, and just leave the anger that is manifesting due to Mr.Dawkins aside, you might just be able to spot the self-evident truth in the face.
Now, can anyone spot what links all those bolded things together? Because all of them have the same origin, and ALL of them have caused wars. Religion has just been a better excuse than any of the others. Come on, use the grey matter.
I suppose the very fact that all religions attempt to instill an implicit non-violence in the practitioner is not even a factor for most of you all.
Is it so difficult to actually think for yourselves?
