    You’re being dishonest. The definition of the words rules out the undesirable conclusion. People can’t do anything in the name of atheism.

    If “Religion poisons everything” then removing the poison should rehabilitate the patient, no? So please demonstrate that secular societies are more benevolent than religious ones. Show me that those who invented industrial murder are morally superior to ad-hoc killers.

    Did you know that the word genocide was coined to describe the actions of a government who was actively trying to secularize?

      Goodness, you are right: I entirely forgot to name the Holocaust (which probably isn’t what you were going for). That could certainly be considered genocide against a religion.
