Here. Today.

Anyone who wishes to tie atheism to atrocity had better take a long look at what religion has done to sharpen abuse to an exquisite edge. Count your millions. I will continue to count one by one. It adds up to the millions after a while, but counting one by one shows their faces.

Art is right, you know: There have been no atheist cultures. The difference is between true godlessness, which no government interested in controlling the populace can afford, and anti-religion, which is only religion with its hat on backwards, using all of religion's tools to fight religion for power and control over the people.
