Ron, I wish you and everyone else would stop treating atheism as a separate faith. It's not. It's NOT believing in a deity. Basically, everything done by people was done by people, and belief in God or a god or gods may be claimed by those people as their inspiration, but THE THINGS WERE DONE BY PEOPLE.

I think neither religious beliefs nor the their absence is responsible for the most evil.

I think that badge of shame belongs to the holier/smarter-than-thou fuckwits who get into arguments about who's holier/smarter-than-thou and who has done most good and who has done most harm and CAN'T EVER SHUT UP ABOUT IT. People do it, and people can blame whomever they choose, but it still comes down to the people.

For the record, Hank Jr said it. They've replayed it a bunch of times on various news channels.
