Which is why I point to human nature as the culprit.<br /><br />It's like the old feminists who claimed that if women were in charge, there wouldn't be any wars. Hard to prove a case one way or the other, since they aren't generally in charge, and when they are, there are always a lot of men around to blame. <br /><br />I think it was GB Shaw, both an atheist and a feminist, who argued that as long as women continued to value the things men fought for (whether we're talking about freedom or cheap gas), they were still supporting the war machine.<br /><br />Still, you're right about atheists not holding places in irrational reverence.

There are fewer catalysts for this kind of nonsense with atheism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
