Attention atheists who say "atheists don't do horrible things in the name of their religion."

Please go read a book about the cultural revolution.

I don't care if Atheism is classified as a religion or not. If it makes you more comfortable to amend the above to "Atheists who say 'Atheists don't do horrible things in the name of Atheism'" I'm totally okay with that. As far as I can tell, my meaning is unchanged.

Actually, that changes your meaning quite a bit. Religion is a statement of faith (belief without evidence). As far as I can tell, atheists do not come to the conclusion of atheism from faith, but from looking at evidence.
