Talk:Atheism and Mass Murder (view source)
Revision as of 23:03, June 29, 2013
, 23:03, June 29, 2013→French Revolution-related mass murders.: new section
Is the term mass murder in this article refers only to mass killings of dissidents by governemnt or does it also include acts of homicide with multiple victims which were preparated by people not acting on behalf of any government (like the preparators of the Columbine high school massacre)? If its the latter than I think this article should include some info on how atheism was a factor in some of those killings. For example, Kimveer Gill seems to have been an atheist (''[http://www.politicswatch.com/dawson-sept14-2006.html "I hate god"]''), there was clearly an influence of Darwinian ideology behind Eric Harris's actions (''[http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12370508/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/columbine-killers-diaries-offer-chilling-insight/#.TsXwrlb4JJE "Kick natural selection up a few notches"]'') and Finnish mass murderer Pekka-Eric Auvinen [http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/world/sturmgeist89s-youtube-rant/story-e6frf7lf-1111114828163 was also an atheist and an evolutionist]. Should this info be added to the article? If so I would add it myself but editing this article is open to admins only. - [[User:Markman|Markman]] 00:56, 17 November 2011 (EST)

== French Revolution-related mass murders. ==
Can someone add in that the French Revolution, which was largely atheistic, also resulted in several attempts at mass murder as well? Most notably the genocide at Vendee? I'd add it in myself, but the article's locked. [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]] 19:03, 29 June 2013 (EDT)
