| Dr.Grass said: "it's just showing that there's no need to feel threatened by an atheist." That's NOT the goal of that statement. Moreover, the statement is fuzzy, because it could imply (and I took it as such, but have now realised what you meant) that a theist needn't be threatened by an atheist (not in terms of wars, but on a singular - argumentative level).

You are correct, the Gervais quote is not meant to imply that atheists have never threatened those with religious beliefs. I shouldn't have said "no need to feel threatened" as a blanket statement as if all atheists are peaceful and incapable of causing harm to others.
