1. No atheist has ever killed anyone in the name of God.

My thoughts:

1) True, at least by definition. But if someone kills my family, I don't care if they did it in the name of God or because they wear their pants too low...end result is the same.

I was thinking about this on my drive home yesteday.

Maybe the numbers don't compare, but lots of religious believers were killed by atheists in communist Albania. Religion was outlawed and exercise or belief therein was punishable by death. I have no numbers, but the law existed for ~45 years with varying degrees of execution.

Conclusion: No atheist killed in the name of God. But plenty of atheists have killed due to the name of God.
