the religion group? Doesn't it belong in the atheist group?

What is the point of the thread? Is it suggesting that we should label all churches as terrorist? Good luck selling that idea about Quakers.

Just a few counterpoint examples. My brother was a hard right, racist, atheist supporter of Trump. So is my ex Marine cousin. If my brother was still alive he would have been cheering the coup. I have searched through the photos of the Capitol attack, expecting to see my cousin's photo there. So, should I label all atheists as terrorists?

Stalin was an atheist. He murdered millions of people in the name of an ideology. Are all atheists mass murderers?

The only point I can see for posting this thread in the religion group is for atheists to engage in religion bashing.
