[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 2671933, member: 23516"] Modern history's greatest atrocities took place in societies where there was no religion. Stalin's USSR, Mao's China, and the Khmer Rouge outlawed religion because it was seen as a threat to the state. The Nazis tolerated Protestantism for purposes of expediency but their postwar plans were to destroy the influence of all Christianity because they, too, saw it as a threat. You've stated that the world would be a better place without religion. Estimates vary, but those four regimes alone account for 75 to 100 million deaths, not to mention suffering that we can't even begin to quantify. I don't know where this religion-free paradise is, but it's nowhere on this planet. Those who want to get rid of religion don't want to do it for the benefit of others, that's for sure. [/QUOTE]
