Point is science only functions when their is freedom of beleif, take that away for any reason and you're basically just as bad as the Church when they where in power. 

Seriously, blame the people not the what they claim to believe. 

That was kind of the point I was trying to make. marioboy2004 suggested there was some correlation between christianity and the worlds brightest thinkers I was trying to show that that isn't really the case. My example was trying to show that incredibly controlling religions like Christianity or Islam were in the middle ages deter rather than encourage progress and only after having freedom of belief was society able to properly progress again.

Atheism is just an eloquent way for people to use flowery verbs and adjectives to Re-present pagan morality as the "new age" morality, when in fact abortion, euthanasia, and sexual hedonism were all there before Christianity came to be..it's the "neopaganism" and Christians just filtered the harmful stuff out
Even the slavery abolitionist movement was led by the Church.. Martin Luther king jr was a renowned preacher and christian himself

If I could interject here. Rather than trying to somehow peg atheism as religion, instead point out the following rational flaws:

Generalization of all religions: Not all religions are thiestic, not all of them are the same; Some athiests act like it is a belief system but in reality its only the rejection of thiesm not a fully fleged religion.

Using religion as a scapegoat: point out how ludicrous it is for a book to make people want to inflict genocide, instead of their own choices

But I'm done with this thread, I've wasted to much time here.
