I dont think i've claimed that all religouse people have done evil things, in fact i dont think i've even claimed that all religions have done evil things.
About what you said about Dawkins.
I would not say that religion if the root of all evil, however religion causes alot of harm, or you might even say, causes alot of evil, if you want to use that word. :)
About Hitchens.
I would actually agree with him, wars have been fought it the name of religion / God.

However they have never been done so in ''the name of atheism''. People are motivated by their believes, not the other way around. Its not like people are going around killing each others and yelling stuff like ''in the name of disbelief of a magic elf under Jacobs bed, we will win this war'', that would be just silly :P
Sure atheist have started wars, and done horrible deeds, however that has nothing to do with their atheism.
Turha101 has replied to your comment on Christopher Hitchens Vs Dinesh D'Souza (What's So Great About God?) (Part 1):

You cant really compare concepts like, freedom, justice, or equality to religion, they are not even remotly simular.
Atheism is merely a position, to the question about theism, it has nothing to do with anything else, than the question about if a someone believes in a God.
To say something like atheistic regimes, is missleading, since atheism has nothing to do with it.
@J1Militans part 4 / 5
Sure there are some i ideologies, that are by the very definition not theistic, therfore atheistic, like communism, but that has nothing to do with atheism.
What Dinesh is basicly trying to do, is point a finger at atheist, and make it seem like atheism would somehow be bad.
An atheist, is simply someone who is NOT a theist, how can something like that, motivate you to do anything?
@J1Militans part 5
To give you an simple example of how, well dumb, it is to blame anything on atheism
I have a pink small gorilla under my bed
But look at all the none believers in the small pink gorilla, look at what they have done, they have murdered alot of humans, they have gone to war, they have raped women.
If i said something like this, would you then defend / hold the same position? Also would you think that any wars have been started, because of the disbelief of the small pink gorilla?
