I guess except for Abu Ghraib, the Stanford Prison and most other prisons and 
Milgram's study.

Yes indeed. But I'll keep it short.

I recommend the essay "Confessions of a Lonely Atheist" by the Pulitzer-
prize winning science journalist Natalie Angier, who covers much of the
territory of our recent thread.

http://www.nytimes.com/library/magazine/home/20010114mag-atheism.html

I also recommend this quote from the Nobel-prize winning physicist Steven
Weinberg, one of the people Angier mentions in her essay:

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things
and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things,
that takes religion."
