Im surprised islam didnt rank higher then both. Muslims occasionally blow things up. Atheists and mormons you emcounter more often and they both proclaim loudly what they believe and want you to believe it too. Buddhists and Native believers are much more laid back.

McVey was a Christian and he blew up OKC so Christians blow things up too. Be fair

i got called to task once here while saying the same about McVeigh

He was a Christian or had core beliefs of Christianity at the time of the heinous crime!!! but later between 1996 and his death... renounced his religious beliefs .... so some say he was not Christian.... but it seems he was when he committed the crime!
but lets not forget the Inquisition and the cruelty they sometimes showed! (Christians)

Atheism is a religion?

Since when?

You didn't, Nick, the article did.

Sorry about the confusion. I was referring to the article and dieter's comment.

Both have an obvious slant.

Yes, atheists and agnostics, we have an impeccable record of not blowing things up

Such a peaceful way of life.

Actually, a peace that passeth understanding by religionists.
