Muddled rationalism. The one thing in this world that is entirely more false than any half-baked religious notions in rationalism. Atheism is just an excuse to hide from morality, and there is no greater mistruth than to say that religion has ever been the cause of any deaths. The thing you lack is any real understanding of religion.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Do you know the meaning of "sarcasm"? Besides, atheism is a manifestation of religion. "Religion" is not a synonym of "the true thing Jesus taught" or Christianity or theism or deism or pantheism or animism. If you're using religion to mean "the real thing", as it appears you are doing, and "the real thing" to mean "what I understand the real thing to be" or "what I've been told is the real thing", then you're restricting the word to a personal meaning. To do this is on the level of someone mentally referring to Ford every time he uses the word "car" and claiming that all cars are Fords because all those other things aren't true Fords and, therefore, can't be true cars.
