Atheistic thought merely provides a justification to communist dictators to do whatever they want. --- End quote --- I think there is a huge difference between 'not providing an absolute moral code' and 'providing justification for Flash Mob and violence'. Given how many atrocities have occurred in the name of religion, I really doubt an organised religious belief system does anything to regulate anyone. Crazy people are going to do crazy things irrespective of what they believe in. |

I'd say moreso Atheism enables dictators to easily establish and maintain their own violent and destructive state. Unlike Islam it is not an organized belief system, and does not specifically call for mass-murder; it simply finds no inherent fault in it. |

Look at myanmar, a completely buddhist state that preaches world peace and loving everybody but simultaneously executes muslim and hindu minorities Evil exists everywhere. If it isn't inspired by a religion, then it's inspired by an ideology. |
