if you are a religios man, you have just as little a foundation, you just call it devine

@Undead Mockingbird Morality comes from your DNA, basic interactions and School. imo

People are shit

they don't need a lack of faith to become shit

I am not sure if, on the balance, atheists or people believing in religion have done more harm.

More people died under atheist regimes than any other

people died under COMMUNIST regimes

Religion is ideology like any other

correlation does not imply causation.

Communism was the driving factor, not atheism

@Undead Mockingbird Atheist have been burned for thousands of years in every religion

Edgell, Penny, Joseph Gerteis, and Douglas Hartmann. "Atheists as “other”: Moral boundaries and cultural membership in American society." American Sociological Review 71.2 (2006): 211-234.

Beit-Hallahmi, Benjamin. "Atheists: A psychological profile." (2007).

and USSR leadership was jews.
so most people died under jews control.
not under atheist.

Religion is a free pass for attrocities, cuz you can just ascribe your bad actions to an imaginary character

Beit-Hallahmi, Benjamin. "Morality and immorality among the irreligious." Atheism and secularity 1 (2009): 113.

Ideology is a free pass for atrocities

yes

Any ideology can be twisted and used as a tool of submission

and atheism isn't an ideology

kek

But communism is.

Where is the balance between religion and ideology

atheism is rejecting god,

Not a belief in an ideal

Ah!

@JohnOakman there really isn't a huge distinction when it comes down to it.

Yes, that's what I pointed out reading the report.

It details the screening facilities.

Confucianism was still a religion despite being heavily focused on politics and the state

"Ideology: a system of ideas and ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy."

@Dvir You have Muslims, shariah law, christianity, inquisition, judaism, sionism, etc..

liberalism was still a religion despite being heavily focused on politics and the state and being wrong all the time
