In science, there is a problem with the word "creation". Evolution is not creation but a genetic process. If there were a designer who made the evolutionary "mistakes" along the way, he might be fired for incompetency. :)

Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin and Hitler are used to justify the argument that atheism is somehow "evil". It could be argued I think that Communism has a religious component. It's a dogma not unlike many of the religious dogmas. Stalin, however, perverted Communism to suit his own ends. Hitler was not an atheist and stated that atheists should be killed.

I think the point is valid that no one view has a monopoly on dictatorship which in my view is more of a psychological disturbance than a legitimate "world view".

"In God We Trust" on our currency is a recent development procured by a minister. It did not appear at the inception of our coinage or paper.

Dogma is dogma and it belongs in the dogma house. And it deserves a leash law. (Separation of Church and State)
