Of course, some devout Christians have nothing better to do than bring up Stalin, Mao and Hitler when they corner an atheist at an impromptu new years eve party.

“You know, no religion killed more people in the past century than atheism: Hitler, Stalin and Mao killed more than 100 Million”

[that thumping sound in the background are a million atheists collectively banging their head against the wall]

So stupid – and that’s after disregarding the ‘Atheism is a religion’ blunder.

Interestingly, a religious friend who overheard the remark intervened with the following observation:

“That’s like saying since 98% of all criminals in Europe are religious, 98% of all crimes are committed because of religion.”

Halleluhja!

A belated christmas miracle. And a not-so-subtle reminder to me that not all religious people are stupid.

Happy new year everyone, and may the facts be ever in your favor!
