I don't seek to ban religion. I seek to enlighten it's adherents as to it's invalidity and the harm it does and hopefully help a few on the road to becoming atheist.

As for North Korea... They worship the Kims as gods. It's not particularly atheist and even if it was the atheism of it's people wouldn't be responsible for what happens there - that would be their totalitarian ideology. Totalitarianism being one of the main attributes of organised religion.

human would have accomplished much more if not handicapped by superstitions.

people don't accomplish things en masse through atheism or for the greater good. they accomplish things through faith and/or greed. oh and if you atheists ever get together and do something good for the world, it will be called organized religion. BOOM!

...you are totally clueless as to the role religion has played in building , preserving and advancing civilization ; absolutely and totally clueless .

i see this, and i am not religious. is just plain and simple fact, not bashing atheists, i am pretty much atheist as it is, no getting around history tho. just wish the christians had completed their mission during the crusades so we don't have to deal with this shit now though

...interesting that you mentioned the Crusades .

Those who haven't studied the rise of Western Civilization are likely unaware of how much science of the day the Crusaders brought back to Europe . Good for you that you can recognize the contributions of religion to the world as a non-believer

in the crusades we stole their knowledge and called it religious purification, nowadays we steal the oil and call it spreading democracy, nothing has changed really. personally i like conquest without the bullshit excuses.

...I'll give you a little deeper insight into the Crusades ; they were more about ridding Western Europe of the militarized upper echelons and their private armies who were preying on the citizenry than they ever were about religion on the part of the Church . The militarization was a direct result of the necessity to fight off the Viking and the Moors .

The DPRK doesn't have an official religion, but it doesn't enforce atheism as that would go against juche principles. There are many Buddhists in the DPRK, and there are also some small christian minorities.

Poor scaly, gonna get whipped in the after-world. Not only denies God, but publically incites people to follow his path
