What Happens When You Remove Faith

That may be true, but in some books ('Foundation and Earth' I think, was the one I read) Asimov introduced the zeroth law (that came as before the first law): "A robot may not harm the human race, or, by inaction, allow the human race to come to harm." (I think that's right)Basically, the robot had to kill a madman who wanted to blow up a planet or something (it's been a while).Just an aside for you.

They, like many of those behind mass genocides, did not make people throw their conscience away. Instead, they changed the external view of the other group (basically, convincing people that Jews etc were not really human, or as human, as Aryans). This didn't affect their conscience (a Nazi would still have been moral towards fellow Germans), but stopped it from being applied to the minorities (Jewish, gays etc).In essence, it's the reverse of animal rights activists, who convince themselves that animals are closer to human than they really are, so are worth protecting.
