The following is a list of atheist shooters and serial killers. Atheists have a long record of being mass shooters and militant atheism in general has a causal association with mass murder.

Due to this fact, peer reviewed research published in academic journals has found that society-at-large is likely to hold atheists responsible for capital criminal acts and that even atheists are likely to assume that serial killers are fellow atheists.[2][3][4]

United States

Jared Loughner's mugshot, released January 10, 2011
  • Dimitrios Pagourtzis, Santa Fe, Texas shooter who killed at least 10 people at a public school, described himself as an atheist on his Facebook page (May 2018)[5]
  • Gabriel Ross Parker, shooter at Marshall County High School in Kentucky who murdered two people (January 2018)[6][7][8]
  • Devin Patrick Kelley, perpetrator of the Sutherland Springs, Texas shooting at First Baptist Church, murdered 26 people (November 2017)[9][10][11][12][13][14]
  • Connor Betts: the Dayton, Ohio shooter who killed 9 people.[15][16][17][18][19]
  • Chris Harper Mercer, Umpqua Community College gunman (October 2015)[20][21]
  • Craig Stephen Hicks, perpetator of the Chapel Hill Shootings (February 2015)[22]
  • Jared Lee Loughner, perpetrator of the Tucson Shootings (January 2011)[23]
  • Seung-Hui Cho, perpetrator of the Virginia Tech shootings (April 2007)[24]
  • Jeffrey Dahmer, serial killer and sex offender responsible for the rape, murder, and dismemberment of seventeen men and boys (1978 - 1991)[1]
  • James Oliver Huberty, perpetrator of the San Ysidro McDonald's massacre (July 1984)[25]
  • Carl Panzram (1891-1930) was an American serial killer, rapist, arsonist, robber and burglar. In his autobiography and prison confessions Panzram claimed he committed 21 murders (a majority of which were not corroborated) and over 1,000 sodomies of boys and men. He was executed for murdering a prison employee at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. Panzram declared "“I don't believe in man, God nor Devil. I hate the whole damned human race, including myself. I preyed upon the weak, the harmless and the unsuspecting. This lesson I was taught by others: might makes right.”[26]

A significant portion of the recent incidents involving young mass murderers have involved atheists.

Study: People assume serial killers are atheists

See also: Atheism and serial killers

The news and analysis website Axios reported:

A new study published in Nature Human Behaviour found that people around the world are predisposed to believe that atheists are more likely to be serial killers than religious believers — a bias even held by atheists themselves.

By the numbers: The study included 3,256 participants across 13 diverse countries that included highly secular nations like Finland and the Netherlands as well as highly religious ones like the United Arab Emirates and India.[28]

Atheists and psychological factors related to mass shooters

The FBI has some done preliminary research on the psychology of mass shooters: FBI on psychology of mass shooters.

Mass shooters often have these characteristics:

1. Frequently are sociopaths or psychopaths (see: Atheism and sociopathy and Atheism and psychopathy).

2. Tend to be proud, narcissists who crave attention (see: Atheism and arrogance and Atheism and narcissism).

3. Many are loners (see: Atheism and loneliness and Atheism and social outcasts and Atheism and social/interpersonal intelligence and Atheism and marriage).

4. Many have mental illness (see: Atheism and mental illness).

5. Often kill themselves or do "death by cop" (see: Atheism and suicide).

6. Frequently tend to kill out of revenge/bitterness/unforgiveness/anger (see: Atheism and bitterness and Atheism and forgiveness and Atheism and anger and Atheism and love).

7. Often have poor emotional control (see: Atheism and negative emotions/thoughts).

8. Frequently are very unhappy people (see: Atheism and happiness and Atheism and depression).

9. They often see violence as the only answer (see: Atheism and violence and Irreligion and domestic violence and Atheism and mass murder and Atheist atrocities and Atheism and human rights violations).[29]

10. Many are active on the internet and frequently it is found that they have posted disturbing things on social media or other websites (see: Atheism and the internet).

Agnostic shooters, serial killers and domestic terrorists

  • Timothy McVeigh (April 23, 1968 – June 11, 2001) was the main perpetrator in the Oklahoma City Bombing on April 19, 1995, which killed 168 people in the worst act of domestic terrorism in American history. Contrary to the popular and oft-repeated belief among liberals and the irreligious, McVeigh was not a right-wing evangelical Christian. In fact, McVeigh was raised Roman Catholic, but professed agnosticism.[31] His political beliefs were libertarian.
