Yes, I know that Atheism is the root of all evil, but...
:::I saw a film last night about an Olympic athlete sentenced to 17 years in prison for a drunk driving accident. He was not convicted of murder, but what he did was still a crime. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 16:23, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

== Yes, I know that Atheism is the root of all evil, but... ==
...the quote that compares the Inquisition with the Holocaust and other things comes out of nowhere. I understand that Conservapedia wishes to <s>preach</s> educate about Evil Liberal Things (like atheism, homosexuality, liberals themselves, evolution, etc.), but why does ''this'' article need to drive that point home, too? Mass murder is wrong, but it was motivated by both religious and non-religious causes. Pointing fingers and trying to imply that one side did less is petty.
That aside, the quote compares only the inquisition with the ''collective'' death count of Hitler, Mao, and Stalin. Without even looking at exact numbers, that alone makes a halfway critical reader frown. The fact that I have absolutely no idea who "Dinesh D'Souza" is doesn't help, either. Checking the source, I see that it is from "Christian Science Monitor" with the title "Atheism, not religion, is the real force behind the mass murders of history". Mhh... yes, that's certainly an unbiased source... --[[User:Jenkins|Jenkins]] 08:55, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
