And "the harm" has been lopsidedly done by atheists---Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, to start with. As I noted earlier, probably one of the main reasons this is so is that with atheism, it's much easier to have a personality cult and a God-substitute--who by definition makes no mistakes. So it is impossible to rein in bad ideas of this God-substitute. Similar to the "good old days" of the divine right of kings.

It is also interesting that virtually all scientists and others who depend on empirical evidence have not been atheists. Agnostics, yes--and that is eminently sensible. But not atheists--including Darwin and Einstein, for instance.   It seems fairly evident that anybody who thinks clearly may well be an agnostic--but not likely an atheist.
