Imagine an actual violent war broke out between Star Wars fans and Star Trek fans. They are bombing each other’s conventions, and shooting each other in the streets. From the outside, you’re just like, why are they acting like this? None of it is even real! Why can’t you just let each other enjoy science fiction? Why do they have to like YOURS better?
Atheists, like all people, do have things to go to war about. Money, power, real things that are important to them, and it may be greed or love that pushes an atheist to war, but science fiction had nothing to do with it.
Religious people, like all people, do have things to go to war about. Money, power, real things that are important to them, and it may be greed or love that pushes the religious to war.
Cute, but that doesn’t work when “kill the infidels!” is literally their warcry. They openly call them Holy Wars and promote them as driven by religion. Sure, there’s money and power involved as well, but people are fighting over religion. That’s just fact.
You’re defining your feelings as fact. Just like fundamentalist religious people that cry out “kill the infidels” do.
It’s also a fact that atheists have killed even more people because of adherence to weird ideologies.
Like I say, people who are 100% certain of things can come to strange conclusions. Real life isn’t so simple as seeing one person saying “kill the infidels” and concluding that all people in that religion think the same way.
Joseph Stalin was an atheist, does being an atheist make you think the same way as Joseph Stalin?
Ha! Look at this dude and his radical atheism!

Oh. No no. You misunderstood the whole time. I never said or believed that ALL religious people are warmongers. That’s completely foolish.
Now imagine a war between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, with tens of millions of casualties.
Or pretend we’re talking about Trekkies. Whatever fills your holodeck I guess
