CandyRivers: communism was a polical movement not the absence of theism
So try again.
Chernobyl was a workplace disaster and not engineered on an atheist agenda.

hobostu: I don't think being an athiest makes anyone evil. I think that the only thing that could make an athiest maybe more dangerous is that they don't have any higher power to be held accountable by, and therefor if they have the capacity to do something evil (as anyone, athiest or no) they may be more likely to do it. Based on the fact that they don't have fear of retribution to hold them back.

Jetters: Even people with the highest "power" in their mind to answer to, still do heinous things. Such as the Pope. Could you have a higher power to be accountable to, than he does, yet covers up pedophilia in the name of his god.

Individuals skew things in the name of religion, instead of just basing their behaviour on basic human morals and decency.

Talent_M: well we can't measure that,actually I know some athiests are good,in same time there is bad theists,Hitler wasn't thiest? or Goerge W Bush and his father weren't thiests!!? it depends on social and psychology factors of the man,but at the final if you don't have any deterrent to stop or to correct your behavior,you can do anything as you wish.
actually why are we talking about the athiests only,see many of people who believe in god,they do deeds worse,in fact the faith without fear is useless.

Lex_Hardon: Stalin, Mao-TseTung etc may have been athiests, but they didnt carry out atrocities in the name of athiesm. Thats the difference. And thats where this argument ultimately fails.
Unlike theists who fly jets into buildings, or thiests who yell 'praise god!' as they decapitate 15 year old schoolgirls in Indonesia, or the theists who were said to have been 'knee deep in blood' as they invaded Jerusalem. The list is inexhaustible.

lois_lane: I know a few Atheist's and I have no problem with what they believe in. Just like in anything, there are Extremist and radicals that make the regular atheists(if you will) look like they just want to cram what they think down your throats and dont care to hear what you have to say cuz your wrong? Cant we just accept that we are all different and have different beliefs and that thats what makes the world go round! I know its corny but shite!!

XFixYourBrainX: I have a really good friend who is atheist and he has only once talked to me about how religion is all made up, but I have never talked to him about becoming religious how is this. Atheists say religious people are always trying to push them into believing in God but in the past 4 years he I have never done that.

Widgette: Here you have touched a great misconception, Talent.

Atheism is a passive individual disbelief in a higher power, while Communism is an active ideology to control the masses.
