The lack of deity beliefs is the default condition, silly.  Belief in the
gods and goddesses must be indoctrinated into children.  The lack of belief
is the natural condition of humans.

Children are _born_ with the ability to think for themselves.  It's not an
ideology which was created by humanity.  The ability and the desire to think
is taken from the weak by a priesthood who finds that doing so guarentees
them a life free from work.

How typical of a death cultist to want to pretend that the lack of deity
beliefs some how translates to a system of government.  How common for a
death cultist who wants to ignore the evil and deadly ideologies of his
cult to pretend that authoritarianism and totalitarianism some how has
something to do with the lack of believing in deity constructs.

Some how you "forgot" to state any deadly atheist ideology.  Now why is
that?  Couldn't your masters come up with a servicable lie?

It's also interesting to observe yet another fundy ignore the fact that
a populace's beliefs in deity constructs can't be removed simply through
the dictates of a fascist State.  The Societ Union has been Christian
for a long, long time and yet for some curious reason you cultists want
to pretend the peoples were nonetheless atheists.

Do you learn this behavior in your church?
