No, of course they don't have the same teachings. That's the point - there are a variety of non-religious creeds which vary from Scientology to Communism and so on. Blaming religion and religion only, as you do, is no more than predudice. (And calling Scientology a religion is incorrect..it's a creed which operates as a "personal improvement program" and suchlike in several countries which react poorly to religious sentiment, such as Israel. That in itself quite clearly shows it's not a religion but a cynical creed...) > > And neither is the law society is driven by. > > > > The ONLY given with a militant atheist is that he is driven by hatred > > and intolerence.
