Well, first of all, as someone else also pointed out, far more mental and physical pain has been inflicted upon "ordinary" people in the name of the holy bible than ever was done in the name of science. Second, scientists (atheistic or otherwise) do not teach people to reject the good doctrine in the holy bible ... they teach people to reject the "bad" doctrine in the holy bible. That is, things like adam&eve and the age of the earth etc. Scientists do not in general teach people to reject teachings like thou shalt not kill etc. And frankly, the atheists that I know are some of the most considerate, kindest, humblest, thoughtful people I have ever met. They just happen to base there moral values on an empathy for their fellow human beings rather than on what some religion tells them they must believe. Larry Edwards
