    Einstein didn't classify himself as an atheist, but he certainly was not a theist, either. You can't claim someone like him a theist and Hitler an atheist in the same breath.

    There is so much wrong with that list and chart that I don't know where to begin. But I think most people here are probably bright enough to see that without me doing a tl;dr post about it. These discussions are getting utterly boring.

    Typical Atheist ignoring hard proof evidence. Enjoy Science proving Atheists wrong!

    Yes.

    It's also not a bible.

    Bibles are good shields though. You ever see the Simpsons? Bible + Piece of the original cross = UNDER ARMOR

    That was mostly because he didn't like how atheist presented themselves (look at the time he lived in). From his writings, it looks more like he wanted to take a position that was the not-atheist, but couldn't in good conscious go to religion.

    Oh I agree he took a middle ground in deism much like the founding fathers because of the stigma that comes with outwardly denying organized faith.

    "I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice"
    "God is subtle but he is not malicious."
    "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
    "God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically."
    I don't know, he always sounded like an agnostic leaning toward the deism (where God is striped from every useless characterization).

    It's a shame tho, if he was atheist, imagine how much more he could have done!

    Life has existed for 3 billion years. Precisely the number of years humans have been drinking water on a daily basis.

    Also, lol at Hitler being an Athiest just because he killed Jews. These people are fucking delusional. Everyone knows Hitler was Catholic.

    idk why theists would put sarah silverman on what appears to be a "top atheist killers of all time" list, her comedy can't have killed more than a few hundred thousand

    I'm impressed. That site is trolling of the highest order. I bet some people even emailed complete point-by-point rebuttals.

    Why are crusades in the "christian" part? Surely, if "got mitt uns" is an atheist rallying call, so is "deus vult"!
    Corrected chart: atheists: ALL THE DEATHS EVERYWHERE; christians: NAUGHT! Helleluyah!
