As opposed to Adolf Hitler ("I am now as before a Catholic and will
always remain so." - quoted in John Towland's biog).
Not to mention several Popes, who were happy to ordain the
indiscriminate massacres of Moslems in the name of the Cross.
Not to mention the Christian fundamentalist GWB (and his father), who
seems happy to go to war against the people of any Moslem country that
has the audacity not to kow-tow to his government's wishes.
There is no point in claiming that atheism breeds immorality, or that
Christianity is the cure, because there are so many counter-examples in
both cases that the only conclusion any sensible person can draw is that
some people are good, some people are bad, and anyone can be drawn to or
away from religion.
