Reply #6: I would argue more evil done "in the name of religion" NOT based on

Religious beliefs. There is a difference and I think most (including agnostics and atheists) acknowledge this.


Sadly though, there are some who wish to paint in broad brushstrokes, as if all who profess a belief in God are cut from one mold. After all, who is to say that those who committed evil or launched crusades in the name of religion, were not truly atheists, using religion as their tool to manipulate?

And to someone earlier who pointed out how divisive this kind of thread is becoming, I heartily agree.
