Yes, there is a lot of differences (when you
look at details). Though I could agree they
are not especially significant.

Actually, all humans are liars; some of them
lie only little, others lie much, and there 
are some relativistic morons, too.

No, no, that's an agnostic.  My husband has a badge that he wears
to cons, reading "MILITANT AGNOSTIC: I DON'T KNOW AND YOU DON'T
EITHER."

The atheist says, "No, there isn't."

Ho, he says "Yes, there is," and if you persist, they'll start
telling you some of the things they believe about him.

I have no idea why atheists are getting more and more obsessed with 
preaching the Bad News and trying to convert religious believers these 
days. Even if it were possible to prove God/dess's _non_existence, I 
doubt it would be overly advisable.

A _lot_ of those people who still believe, also feel compulsions to do 
objectively-evil things; and only don't act on those because they fear 
earning eternal punishment. Take away the stick, especially while also 
taking away the carrot, and you'll create a Hobbesian world again.

TLDR: no, outlawing religion won't get rid of hatred toward the 
non-cishet and is unlikely to remove racism or sexism either. But if you 
somehow manage to do it, you'll get a situation where a lot of people 
who were acting morally but against their brain's drives (since, after 
all, most of you also say we have no independent mind), will instead 
turn into homicidal, thieving nihilists. And no, even if you believe 
we're all merely organic computers, it's not possible to fix the 
hardware in such a way as to run the software the way you want.

Read some history. Then *think*.

The prevalence of religion has blighted the lives of thousands of
millions of people over the ages. And as if that's not enough, it
has motivated regimes of utterly brutal torture, mass murder and
even genocide.

> Even if it were possible to prove God/dess's _non_existence,

No Need. The theists claim that there is such a thing as a god,
Let them prove it.

> I doubt it would be overly advisable.

"Overly"? What are you on about? *Nothing* is "overly" advisable.

> A _lot_ of those people who still believe, also feel compulsions
> to do objectively-evil things;

Such as exterminating "infidels"?

Rubbish. Human beings internalise moral strictures both religious
and non-religious. It's in their upbringing, not theur belief
system.

Humans ran a couple experiments, one in the 19th century, a handful in 20th 
century, with a few still running. They set up a few countries that did their 
best to eradicate religion. It turns out they were regimes of utterly brutal 
torture, mass murder and even genocide.

Based on experimental evidence religion is irrelevant to how nice a government 
is.

The Nordic countries (Scandinavia and Iceland) are rapidly approaching
zero without torture and mass murder.

But then, you are claiming "irrelevant" rather than "contradicted", so
I guess I'm not arguing with you.

Instead of the cheap shot, you should try doing it. Your "history"
is worthless.

In no case was that the focus of the "experiment". OTOH, "experiment"s
set up during the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages *did* have a religious
focus, and were focused on, not its eradication, but its universal
enforcement.

Yair, Funny that. All of them. And the common factor was the effort at
universal enforcement of some ideology.

> > Based on experimental evidence religion is irrelevant to how nice
> > a government is.

False. Religion, specifically monotheist religion, was the sole
element of focus in the majority of those "experiment"s, and because
monotheism's institutionalised bigotry was the direct cause of the
"utterly brutal torture, mass murder and even genocide" that those
regimes engaged in, religion, specifically monotheist religion,
is very definitely relevant to how "nice" a government is.

Check out how "nice" they were in the Middle Ages, when they were Catholic.

Christian apologists often "argue" with weasel words.

Actually it was. During the French Revolution that targetted the church to 
eradicate it. Stalin, Beria, etc congratulated themselves on eradicating the 
russian church. Eradicating religion was very much their focus.

You got it wrong way around, idiot. I dislike it because it's worthless.

Larf. Stalin was a closet believer. A failed Russian Orthodox priest.
He kept priests on stipend, you fuckin' igorant clown.

So you couldn't face this bit, you lying loon? Tell us how religion's
irrelevant to how "nice" the Spanish government was when it was burning
people to death on the Church's orders.

Remember what the feminist said about the witchhunts? "Six generations
of European children were forced to watch their mothers burn".

You got any comment on that, you murder-mongering maggot?

It is not at all very complicated...

It Very Simple. God is Good, everthing else is Evil!


I'll give you an example..

you take a Murderer

he murders somebody..

he's in jail...


He's still a human person

He still has his Good side, and he has his Bad side.


Which side is the Murderer? 



Which side is the Atheist?? 



Atheist are Evil, plain and simple.


Sure, there are a lot of religous people who believe in God who do bad things...

but it is all in the name of Good.


When an Israeli soldier kills a Palestian baby, it's in the name of Good. 


might be a little hard for you to understand...

There is no greater evil, than that perpetrated in the name of
religion !  e.g. Crusades, Islamic extremists, etc.
