As an atheist, the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer engaged in cannibalism.[1]

The following list 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

Canada

Anders Breivik stated that "Religion is a crutch for many weak people", echoing the quote of atheistic communist philosopher Karl Marx[14]
