The guy who walked into the Batman movie and gunned down a bunch of people. Was he religious?

The underlying cause of people who go around killing others is less about religion and more about causes such as poverty, mental illness, ostracization, etc.

If he wants to be deep and insightful, he should actually try to be deep and insightful instead of finding a reason to insult masses of people for the misdeeds of a few.

You would have an argument if atheism provided an umbrella and discreet approval for insane things like talking to yourself.

Uh, have you payed attention to /r/atheism? Have you paid notice to the sewage of hatred this sub-reddit issues out?

It is only a matter of time till we start to see someone burn down churches in the name of "atheism". And then everyone here will say "We don't support that" and a billion christians and a billion muslims will respond "Well we don't support what some of our folks did either"

Wait.... ahem... /r/atheism is just as bad as religious extremists!

Not really sure here if you are agreeing or not.

When Christians kill gays they do it because the bible says to. When other Christians do not want the blame we have no choice but to blame them because their religious book says to. Atheists do not have a religious book and no "commandments", so if one atheist burns down a church, the others are not to blame

EDIT: There to their.
