I was referring to McVeigh's own views and condemnation of the Christian faith.<br /><br />"It just seems religious people are more prone to violence than athiests?"<br /><br />Remember, for the strong atheist, there is no division between atheism and religion. Because that sort of atheism is a religious faith.<br /><br />Also, if you look at 20th century, the Atheists perpetrated far more horrific violence than theists. Many times more. Pretty much the opposite of what you claim. Strong atheism has far and away the worst record in causing death, persecution, atrocity, as compared to other religions.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-53454296671386961022011-08-01T05:44:06.047-07:002011-08-01T05:44:06.047-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-53382149380590759022011-08-01T02:28:17.776-07:002011-08-01T02:28:17.776-07:00Does one need Christianity to be a violent extremi...Does one need Christianity to be a violent extremist?

The more civil and educated will use their positions of power(e.g. Politicians, Law Makers, Judicial, CEOs etc) to further spread the same radical propagendas.
