Yes, I agree. I never implied that we shouldn't.

Sarcasm. Christians had nothing to do with Anders Brevik and atheists are not responsible for the Gulag.

It could be argued that people like Hitler and Stalin hijacked the already hyper-religious cultures they ruled over to enhance their own cultish powers over the populace. So, far from atheism being the cause of these atrocities, it seems like religiosity was the cause.

As for muslims, they're fine in isolation. The "one muslim friend" isn't ever a problem. But a group of muslims is another story entirely. Islam is just as dangerous as Christianity was before the enlightenment.
