You could then argue that there is a lot of slander toward atheists by Christians and Muslims. Did you know atheism is considered religious extremism in Dubai, some have been sentenced to death there. The late Christopher Hitchens did well to dismantle much of the dogmatic bullshit surrounding the purity of religion, all religion. Good deeds are done by individuals who happen to be religious, and they may even do it in the name of religion, but the religious organisations and establishments have known history of evil deeds. It's even written down in the religious texts. Sodomy, murder, rape, slavery, genocide, etc. It's all there. The left are ideologically corrupt just as the church is.

Yes, there certainly is.

I did not, but am not surprised. I am opposed to all religious extremism and that includes hard core rhetoric like that.

The solution should be separation of church and state.

At the very least there should be separation of church from the state, I'd go further and relinquish any special rights religion has that overrides any right the non-religious have, and any right of those who are not of consenting age. Nobody has the right to force religion on young people, ideologically or physically.
