People don't kill in the name of atheism. Period. No one shourts, FOR THE LACK OF A GOD! before blowing himself up or before going on a shooting rampage.
And when have you heard the contrary? When have you seen or heard of a person, doing something FOR god, or at least for his/her idea of god?

The corollary is if you are an atheist and you decided to follow any religion, ask yourself, 'which good and bad actions would you be required to perform as a member of that religion'.
As a moral atheist, I can state unequivocally that there is NO religion that I have ever heard about that would make me a better person who does better deeds than I do now.
And every religion I know about would add ridiculous requirements, foolish customs and/or unearned guilt to my life, NO THANKS.

@accountbypass1 But in atheism there are no moral absolutes, and therefore atheists can do what they like. Religion has also caused people to do good and turn away from evil.

I was born in this county. Too bad I wasn't around to catch this debate. I'm sure there was nothing better going on considering how small it is. Thanks for the upload.

@hyobel On the conterary, I enjoy Question Time, and I remember that one rather well: I can even remember what Hitchen's said, and can quote it for you if you like.

@MrLemex I guess you're one of those who likes claiming without seeing with their own eyes. I would say that Hitchens never had a chance to draw his sword in Question Time. He was then a blubbering in his shell who was unable to come out into the open because all guns were aimed at him.

@hyobel What are you talking about? He blowen the other people in that debate out of the water; he defeated Boris Johnson before the guy even opened his blonde haired, Tory mouth.
