I've noticed Bill Maher's shock tactics in trying to persuade people that religion is horrible, evil, it kills people, etc. regardless of what religion it is. That's funny, I could've sworn Stalin was an atheist who killed, oh, let's say 20 million people. Also I could have sworn that Hitler was, at the very least, an agnostic who directly led to the deaths of 72 million people. These two non-religionists (Hitler had initially liked the Catholic church, but had denounced it later) alone have, in the past century, directly led to the deaths of almost 100 million people. That's 100,000,000.
So Maher can take his atheism and shove it where it belongs, because while religion has caused death, there is NO religion as brutal and violent as Islam and there are religions that have NOT caused their followers to kill in their name or to attempt to conquer the world as Islam does on a daily basis.
