Adding to the list: Let us not forget the 620,000 who died in the American civil war, certainly not a war of "religion" but of political dissent! Great post!

The arguments are all the same. The Slax footer is as much a statement of faith, a belief in an absolute truth, as anything religious folk hold to. What happened to good old fashioned agnosticism? Why this evangelical atheism? If a theist must prove that God exists, surely the one who confidently states "God does not exist!" must prove it too. But of course, you can't. It is pure faith. At least the agnostic has the humility to say he just does not know.
