>>I simply wish that the religious would do the same, and stop pointing the finger at me and those like me, accusing us of being incipient monsters with genocidal tendencies.<< Examples, please?

But the religious can't let go of the ethics and morality thing. After all, religion- at least organized religion- is big business. As a business it has to have selling features. One of the features it sells is that by being religious you are being "good"- and of course that's morality. Not that being religious is the sum total of morality- but it's a big part. That's why up there with murder and fornication are making false idols, ignoring the sabbath and using the Lord's name in vain.
