Lol, it's not an assumption if they say that's why they're doing it and it's in their holy doctrine. But whatever, guy. 🙄

Yea but you're primarily trying to put the blame on religion. The point is that Western intelligence agencies are the primary cause of Islamic Terrorism not Islam.
Warning this article has some disturbing shit. It’s titled, "Why We Hate You and Why We Fight You."

If you want to argue about a diety called Zeus who is an old white guy that lives on a mountain and if you want to argue about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins then you have a point about the specific aspects of certain faiths.
Yup, that is mainly the point, because those are the sorts of unsubstantiated claim believers make. 👆

But you are incorrect in the idea that the existance of gods are illogical. You can deduce that beings like gods probably exist just by looking at nature. Bacteria exists, insects exist, animals exist and humans exist it stands to reason that more likely than not other beings out there more powerful than human beings exist. The reason why you come to that conclusion is because you can already observe a hierarchy of lifeforms that already exsist. So it's like this 2=bacteria, 4=insects, 6=animals, 8=humans whats the next number? The next number is probably 10. It might not be but it probably is. So belief in gods is based on inference while Atheism is based on.....I dunno i guess some strange vendetta you have with Christians.
Atheism isn’t about trying to disprove the existence of some deistic entity (that would shift the burden of proof anyway). If you want to believe in some deistic god, feel free. It’s the personal Gods who answer prayers and are very interested in the gender of the person in your bed that there is no substantial evidence for. So in essence it’s about preventing the sorts of beliefs that can lead to theocracy.

You're also kinda immature anyone whos lived long enough and has read enough history knows you can't make sweeping generlizations like athiesm is married to rationality because you're dealing with humans, all humans can be irrational. The fact that Stalin and Mao killed so many people proves this,
Of course people are still individuals. There’s semi-rational people who self-label as believers and totally irrational people that call themselves atheists. I get it. And there’s plenty of other influences at play, power, corruption, greed, etc. Like Adam_P said, Fascism. But if you
honestly and
fairly represent the atheist worldview (which you are
not) it’s not some evil force. There's no atheist manifesto with dangerous dogmas causing harm like there is with Christianity (Bible) and Islam (Koran, Hadith). It’s simply wanting evidence and rational policy. Seriously, mentioning Hitler, Mao, Stalin, etc is becoming hackneyed, even cringy.

also I could talk about in the scientfic community athiests are ruining research into the supernatural because as soon as tests show that the supernatural exists they reject the findings.
So now it’s a conspiracy against evidence for the supernatural? Atheists are so organized and unified that they are suppressing it? Hilarious.
