I listed all the atheist states showing how every one of them
has been a murderous dictatorship (the USSR, Maoist China,
Pol Pot's genocidal tyranny, etc) but you snipped them so I will put
them back, below, so people can see what you don't want them to see;

Sure.. RELIGIOUS people.. (eg 85% of Americans are religious,
only 0.7% are atheists.. atheists built Nth Korea!!!!! B^D
AND..and all the great ciuvilisations are clearly inspired, built and
sustained by the spiritual values of their religious teachers,
the most ENDURING memes on the planet;
We have the Hindu civilisation which gave us brilliant mathematics
(including the Zero), sublime architecture like the Taj, and sensual
beauty like the Karma Sutra..
The Judeo Christian civilisation, as historians describe it has produced
most of the free open democratic and secular nations, such as the USA,
Europe, Canada, Australia all created by their MAJORITY RELIGIOUS
societies.
> - not religions, asshole.
You can't argue with success.. the most recent civilisation tracks from
the Greeks and Romans, both religious societies, to the USA,
FOUR FIFTHS RELIGIOUS.. and printing "In God We Trust" on it's money!!!
You can't name ONE atheist regime that hasn't been a murderous TYRANNY!!

'NON-RELIGIOUS' DOES NOT = ATHEIST, and SECULAR governments are the
choice of the MAJORITY RELIGIOUS.. not your tiny, insignificant
RABBLE!
If you want to see what ATHEISM in power produces, you have to go to
North Korea!

Which is why atheism is in decline, since it's Heyday in the atheist
regimes of the 20th century, the USSR, Maoist China, Pol Pot's
genocidal regime.. responsible for the terror, torture and DEATH
of over 70,000,000 people!
You cannot dispute the facts of history, you lying apologist for atheist
tyranny!
.....
"At the dawn of the 20th Century approximately one half of the world's
population identified itself as either Muslim, Catholic, Protestant,
Hindu or Buddhist, and 100 years of secularism, and technological
advancement, and scientific progress later and that number is now
two thirds.
So, for those of you who enjoy beginning coffee shop
conversations with "The Death of God" .. it's time to change
the subject! It's time to talk about something else , because
it's not happening at all.
People are becoming more religious, not less religious,
and religion itself is also evolving"
