“America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.”
This is true, though the spiritual determines the efficacy of the former elements.
Mass murderers like Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot and multitude more were in-deed acting out of atheism’s basis for morality (or lack thereof), doing what was pragmatically “reasonable” to them in slaying and subjugating their multitudes.
..atheism has been tried as a basis for life in many countries in the 20th century. The results have been some of the biggest bloodbaths of all time under communist despots above the law, e.g., Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. For example, the Inquisition killed 2000 people in three centuries; Stalin killed that many before breakfast. ( Sarfati, 2004 & 2008. See also Morris)
Yes and the Atheist North Korea another Godless pit!
