Some atheists are rock solid conservatives that believe religion is a tool. Some use the tool for good, some bad.

Hey religion can be a tool. People murder each other in the name of their faiths. A religious leader has absolute control over his/her followers. A huge responsibility.

This is why I distrust the leadership and have tremendous skepticism. I have seen too many instances of said leaders using their power for personal gain or sexual perversions.

I like to think that it is the message and not the messenger that is important. The message is pure and true, the messenger is corrupt and prone to evil (or sin).
