I am an Atheist myself. I believe the point Tray and Matt were trying to make here is it's human nature to go to war. Evolution dictates "survival of the fittest" and that's usually not pleasant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdl_xNMTYvs People can use religion as an excuse to kill, but they can also use superiority in any form as an excuse to kill off their competition. Humans always try to rationalize everything. I’ve been to the national American Atheists convention a couple of times.
