Yes, the attack on religion is bizarre in its fury, I grant. It is, though, reasonable to note that some liberals are religious, and that the communists responsible for so many deaths were not really liberal (which includes the idea of civil liberties, for example), but revolutionary zealots. Now, a number of liberals can be faulted for being fellow travellers, and taking unrealistic views of such regimes, and since the Sixties the failure to take a stand against Left wing oppression became a disgrace, but they did not directly kill masses of people.........

Re. ``Christians have killed hardly a soul.'' Perhaps in this country, but the massacres in Ruanda a few years ago were perpetrated by Christians (of course the primary influence was tribal, not religion). Also, the recent book by J. Cornwell ``Hitler's pope'' on Pius XII, in spite of its flaws, certainly demonstrates a strong collusion between the Catholic Church in Croatia and massacres of Serbs in WWII. I admit that in the Western World all churches have become highly tolerant (to the point that one has to wonder if they stand for something), but most of them have a checkered past.
