I know some people are likely to get upset at why I removed the qualifier from atheists and agnostics, so I'm posting a rationale for the change here. Atheists are bad for their own reasons, but I don't think we should portray this as if there are non-Muslim elements that do not think it is an abhorrent practice. It's pretty clear why atheism is an evil to most Conservapedia readers, I don't think we need to imply they support honor killings. I'd be happy to see it readded, if someone can get a cite of a prominent atheist saying they think honor killing is okay, but otherwise I think we should leave it out.

: While looking around online, I've also found mention that some honor killings are carried out by Hindus or Sikhs in the traditions of their respective religions. I cannot find a citation better than the Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/02/04/dl0401.xml) which seems rather weak so I am not adding it to the article at this time.
