Are you saying that all of them > are Christians? > Well, no, Madeliene Murray O'Hair was an atheist, and her death was well publicized. She and all the members of her family except for her rebellious son who was a Pentacostal preacher just disappeared mysteriously one day leaving their unfinished breakfast on the table. They did not find their bodies for a couple of years. For a while, they were being seen in New Zealand and other parts of the world, but that turned out to be untrue when their bodies were found on a farm in Texas where they had been murdered and buried by fellow members of their atheist society who were stealing the money from the atheist society treasury so they could buy drugs. Ms. O'Hair was not a Christian, although her son who was the object of her court case to get prayer out of school became a Pentacostal preacher. So there was one notable atheist who was killed, but she was killed by fellow atheists. Robert B. Winn
