"What is this "freethinkers" are atheists theme the Brumey types are chanting?" They want to assert that evil deeds are likely to proceed from unredeemed people(everybody not of their religions superstition). You would think their most hated scapegoat on a western thread would be Islam! But (surprise) it appears to be atheists who simply don't believe in their superstitions! So they hate us because we don't believe in their superstitions! Does it get any more ignorant and pathetic than that?! It really doesn't. So they hate EVERYBODY, don't they? A lot of freethinkers are atheists because (by definition) they eschew dogma and irrationality and ESPECIALLY superstition. Often they are agnostics. They are people who hold that beliefs should be formed on the basis of science and logic and not be compromised by emotion, authority, tradition, or any dogma. Well Christians hate freethinkers because (obviously) the Christian act is balanced on a superstitious dogma. They believe that non-Christians are evil (even though THEIR Christian religion has been a scourge to human society for centuries)--they believe that ALL atheists, freethinkers, agnostics, etc. are EVIL! But atheism is not a dogma. It is ONE single belief--no evidence for a god. And agnosticism is ONE belief--no dogma--there is no evidence for a god. And freethinking is simply beliefs should be formed on the basis of science and logic and not be compromised by emotion, authority, tradition, or any dogma. So their hate is against a singular belief and label Rather than against an actual moral event or hurt. This is the simpleminded stupidity of superstitious and (generally) uneducated people. They blame labels without understanding anything at all. Now I hate dictators like Stalin and Hitler probably more than these silly superstitious kids do. But even Communists I don't hate just out of the box! Not all communists are evil even if they are village idiot stupid. I hate murderers, dictators, and barbarian killers whether they are christian, communist, or Islam. They don't get this because in their superstition all people are evil if they can be labeled something other than "Christian". They are highly disturbed F-CKS and they remain a danger to humanity as do all organized groups of superstitious IDIOTS. Finally, the fact that communists are mostly atheist has to do with communist doctrine--it is (obviously) not a product of atheism itself (which is only about one single solitary premise). The fact that communists have (usually) two eyes and 5 toes does not mean that people with two eyes are monstrous killers)--nor even that all communists are... The problem is (and let me be totally honest here)--superstitious people are not usually all that bright. And therein lies the problem.
