A simpler explanation is that religion is evil.
Not inclined to agree there; that's actually more of a one-dimensional
point of view -- simplistic rather than simple, or perhaps
oversimplified.
China has been abusing Tibet now for half a century; yet it's China
that
is purportedly the atheist nation, not Tibet. If religion were the
evil
force, one would expect China to convert to some flavor of it and use
that to justify their power-grabs.
Communism is a quasi-religion. Religions don't have to be theistic.
Right, like a knee-jerk reaction to the mention of religion. I have tons
of respect for atheists and theists both who "show their work," but not
so much for those who only give the answers. It's no good writing
"Religion bad. QED."
