Top 12 Reasons Atheism = Stupidity (#8)

(This is my revised version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" renamed "The 12 Days of Atheism = Stupidity" -- it's basically the top 12 reasons why atheism is so securely grounded in stupidity -- the song goes like this...)

On the eighth day of Christmas my True Love gave to me...

John Lennon's song "Imagine"

The people in Heaven have a great sense of humor. They changed the lyrics of John Lennon's song "Imagine" and sing it like this:

Imagine there's no atheism
It's easy if you try
No atheists below us
Above us only God

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
Yoohooooo
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one...

Top 12 Reasons Atheism = Stupidity (#9)

History

Perhaps the most stupid reason that atheists use to reject religion in general and Christianity in particular goes along these lines: They say religious people, including Christians, have been responsible for killing "huge numbers" of people.

If you're going to use "killing huge numbers of people" to reject religion, then you really should apply that criteria to rejecting atheism, not religion. The atheistic, anti-religion, communist regime set up in China by Mao was responsible for killing at least 40 million people. The atheistic, anti-religion communist regime set up in Russia by Stalin was responsible for killing at least 20 million people.

People debate whether Hitler was an atheist, but Hitler is on record saying "National Socialism and religion cannot exist together" and "The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity." Atheists who deny that Hitler was anti-religious seem to conveniently ignore the fact that beginning in 1937, Hitler's government became openly and increasingly anti-religious, and that Hitler's top advisers (Goebbels, Bormann and Heydrich, for example) were atheists who were vehemently anti-religion. Hitler was responsible for killing at least 5 million people.

Overall, atheistic purges throughout the 20th century killed at least 100 million people. Atheists love to bring up the Spanish Inquisition as a prime example of the "evils" of religion. The Spanish Inquisition resulted in between 5,000 and 10,000 deaths over the course of 100 years or so.
