As for the rest of your post, you bring up a good point, if religion or atheism is not the commmon denominator among mass killing entities, than what is? Maybe it's just plane old Europeans? I kid... :-) Hey O,

The Christian European and his decedents are unsurpassed in the, numerically speaking, killing of human beings; in that endeavor they truly are the greatest. Indeed, if you truly believe the Christian superstition, it was the Christian deity who called for millions of human sacrifices. “That’s not necessarily true, while God is not mentioned in the constitution, God is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence” -HP The Declaration of Independence was rhetoric, not laws by which the US was governed. If it were law, than it would defy logic- are all man created equal in every aspect of life?

Did he start men to thinking along fresh lines with a vigor that persisted after him?' By this test, Jesus stands first."</blockquote> Since we’re quoting people about God and humanity, I think this quote from H.G.Wells - an atheist historian of significant socialist leanings - takes the discussion up a whole notch.

THE US of A. As a strict constructionist you should note that the constituion does not once mention god or the lord (other than stating the year of the lord after the date, which at the time was like saying AD). This was not an accident. You forgot the greatest secular state. THE US of A.
