Mike F,

The point exactly is that Michael made an unfounded assertion that he is yet to prove.

I note you have done the same thing.

Religious belief is directly responsible for millions of people in Africa contracting AIDS.

Religious belief is directly responsible for the deaths of women who are refused abortions.

Religious belief is directly responsible for the death of patients who are not allowed to have blood transfusions.

Religious belief is directly responsible for the denigration of women worldwide.

Now, like I asked Michael, instead of adopting the usual apologist tactic of ignoring the need for evidence and changing the argument altogether, please prove that the persons he citen did what they did because they were atheists and remember to prove they were in fact atheists first.

The only tiring brainless aasertion here is that "such and such was an evil atheist!" With a little research, thinking and intellectual honesty you discover they were either not in fact atheists or they did what they did due to nonsensical beliefs - not unlike religion.
