Atheism *can* be used that way -- the Soviet Union did that, for example -- but religion is used that way, too. And except for movements like Communism, atheists are far less organized than most religions. |
Granted. Religion
can be used that way too. In my opinion the Catholic Church is/was a good example of that. But just like Communism does not invalidate Secularism in general, neither does misused religion condemn all or even any forms of belief.
