Your knowledge of history appears to be a tad limited. Communist (ie, atheist) regimes killed at least 100 million people in less than a century. your religious history has been a bloody terror for millennia. That makes the death toll from 2000 years of Christianity look like a picnic.https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/COM.ART.HTM

Atheists like you are too stupid to see that you're contradicting your own belief system. If there is no after-life and life is the result of mindless evolution, life has no meaning ... so why are you carrying on as if life does have meaning?
Since your belief system implies that life is meaingless, your moralistic complaints about "division" and "hatred" are vacuous and groundless - products of your delusion that life has meaning.Division is as meaningless as unity and hatred is as meaningless as love. But you and your fellow atheists are too dumb to work that out.

So you're saying no atheists are racist or "homophobic", for example. That is far from the truth.
you go further and condemn people who think different, who act different, who are different.you go further and condemn people who think different, who act different, who are different.
Hypocrite. You condemn Christians bcoz they think different, act different, are different.

APauling666 writes: You and your religion cannot help but divide. That is undoubtedly true ... "I will put enmity between you and the woman,and between your seed and her seed" (Genesis 3:15) “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s foes will be those of his own household" (Matt 10:34-36) “When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left." (Matt 25:31-33) "He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." (John 3:18-19) "Though they know God’s decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them but approve those who practice them" (Romans 1:32) "And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them" (Rev 20:7-9)

That where the delusion of meaning comes in ... 99.99% of atheists have to delude themselves that their life has meaning bcoz they lack the courage to face up to the implications of their beliefs ... that life is meaningless. Given that atheists don't suicide the moment they become atheists, perhaps there's something wrong with your premise? I've no doubt that some atheists do suicide bcoz they correctly realize the logical implication of their atheist belief - ie, life is utterly meaningless (a recipe for suicide if ever there was one). One way atheists attempt to inject meaning into their meaningless lives is by investing in a code of pseudo-morality based on equality (started the so-called Enlightenment),which serves as a replacement for religion .

Sure ... any delusion that provides "meaning" will do. Could it be that a superstitious belief in a 2,000 year old mythology is not required in order to find meaning in life? "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night" - a song by John Lennon (he should know, having been an idiotic dreamer par excellence).

Some athesits are smart enough and courageous enough to recognise that their atheism implies life is meaningless ... You're telling me that my life is meaningless? I think you need to do a bit of thinking about that. "When asked about the meaning of life, Alom Shaha, author of The Young Atheist’s Handbook, stated: Yes, of course I know that life is ultimately without meaning or purpose, but the trick is not to wake up every morning and feel that way. Cognitive dissonance? Embrace it. Create a sense of meaning and purpose by doing something useful with your life"______________________________ "Atheistic philosopher Alex Rosenberg ... The Atheist’s Guide to Reality: Enjoying Life Without Illusions ... Is there a God? No. What is the nature of reality? What physics says it is. What is the purpose of the Universe? There is none. What is the meaning of life? Ditto. Why am I here? Just dumb luck. What is the difference between right and wrong, good and bad? There is no moral difference between them. Why should I be moral? Because it makes you feel better than being immoral. Is abortion, euthanasia, suicide, paying taxes, foreign aid, or anything else you don’t like forbidden, permissible, or sometimes obligatory? Anything goes. Does history have any meaning or purpose? It’s full of sound and fury, but signifies nothing.Does the human past have any lessons for our future? Fewer and fewer, if it ever had any to begin with." ___________________________ "Graham Lawton, Executive Editor of New Scientist magazine, penned a brief article titled, “What is the Meaning of Life?” He began with his blunt, one line answer: “The harsh answer is ‘it has none.’” He went on to say: “Your life may feel like a big deal to you, but it’s actually a random blip of matter and energy in an uncaring and impersonal universe.""___________________________________ "Philosopher and self-professed atheist, Thomas Nagel, teaches and writes extensively on atheism’s implication of meaninglessness. In his brief book What Does it All Mean? A Very Short Introduction to Philosophy, he stated: “If you think about the whole thing, there seems to be no point to it at all. Looking at it from the outside, it wouldn’t matter if you had never existed. And after you have gone out of existence, it won’t matter that you did exist.”_________________________________ "Eminent atheistic author, debater, and spokesperson Richard Dawkins boldly said: “The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.”" The Despair of Atheism - Apologetics Press

In other words. life is meaningless, but let's pretend it isn't. Fascinating.
Little wonder people say atheists are stupid.

Interesting that you have trouble differentiating between fact and fiction ... Interesting that you would quote a man that converted to atheism late in life.

Proof positive that atheists are worse than just shallow .... they're delusional and stupid. We can assign meaning to something that has no meaning. Atheists say other stupid things, like "There is no evidence that God exists"and "There is no evidence that miracles are real".
