Samo,samo...all the wars were the fault of religion,all the abuse is the fault of religion.Everything bad is down to religion and all people of all faiths.
Every good deed done in the name of religious faith is totally ignored.
Yes we atheists are capable of being good moral upright people BUT we don't have the ownership of morals or being honest wonderful people.WE are as capable of truly awful behaviour as many theists are.
