I viewed multiple videos on 3 of the 4 links. I stopped when Pat Condell conflated Europeans of 500 years ago with Muslims today. In Europe's Betrayal of Women he says:
In many ways the Muslim world today is a a similar stage of development as Europe was 500 years ago. Back then women kept themselves covered up for the same reason Muslim women do today. Society was brutal. Legal punishments were sadistic. Beheadings were all the rage and nobody batted an eye. Europeans took that mentality with them to the New World, where they were welcomed at first until the natives quickly realized that these were savage people to whom might was right, who were a threat to anyone weaker or more peaceful and who justified cruelty with superstition. Ring a bell?

Oh come on. Gimme a break.

I don't know if Condell is an atheist or not, but he does have the sound of one, judging from the few videos I watched. Perhaps that's why he may want to conflate Christianity with Mohammandanism - I don't know for sure. He and other atheists make many truthful and salient statements promoting conservatism and against Mohammendanism, for example, which I welcome, but it's not because atheists have any moral or philosophical foundation for such views or because those views are actually consistent with, rooted in or justified by their espoused atheism.

Cordially,

Oh he is. And I expect him to slap at Christianity. That’s just part of the package.

But with all of them, I know that they dont really see Christianity as anywhere near the “problem” for themselves as Islam is. That is why 99% of their videos focus on radical Islam, with rare mentions of Christianity.
