    If we removed "my make-believe god is better than your make-believe god" out of the equation, a whole lot of conflicts through the ages would have been avoided. Evil surely exists, but far too many people do bad things in the name of religion.

    Hmmm ....

    Joseph Stalin: atheist
    Mao Tse Tung: atheist
    Pol Pot: atheist
    Adolf Hitler: irreligious

    Seems to me a whole lot of bad people do a lot of of bad things and use whatever they want as a cover. As bad as religious wars have been historically, wars and atrocities by atheists or agnostics or NON-religious reasons have been 2 orders of magnitudes worse.
