Think about that?

since they were carrying his image with them. I wonder if they know that Jesus was a Jew, assuming that he existed at all?

Of course, those people are idiots, but they're Christians, all the same. Religions are often used to discriminate against, harm, and even kill people, in the name of their deities. This is just another example of that truth.

Not all Christians, of course, but some, to be sure. Many Nazis during WWII were also Christians.

Religion does not necessarily benefit society. Sometimes, religion gives over to unbelievable evil and cruelty. One has to ask about the existence of the omnipotent, omnipresent deities being worshiped, it seems to me. It seems to me that such actions belie that existence pretty dramatically.

Such things are another reason I am an atheist.

I do not know how people control their rage when confronted with such things. I truly don't.

supremacist thinking.

In the Chicago area, an open Nazi ran for Congress and received over 56,000 votes.

1) Christianity and 2) Judaism claim to have the one, supreme God. Which tends to make them intolerant of others Judaism favored its own people only, from a narrow slice of the Mediterranean. Others were attacked and killed.

The tribe over the "others".

Does even contemporary religion entirely transcended such roots? To this day we seem to see in it an exaggerated antagonism toward legitimately defensive atheist organizations, states.

Can humans transcend an apparently integral part of our nature?

....

most people have not committed genocide... so yes, I believe we can be better than those that do.

Individual humans of all faiths, and of no faith at all, transcend the baser parts of human nature all the time. We recognize many of those with humanitarian and other awards. Others are only recognized by those who benefit from their transcendence.

Each of us has the ability to act in beneficial or detrimental ways. I know many who focus on beneficial actions. Don't you?

Hurray, Religion!

Whatever you may think of the religion, or lack of, of the Nazi leadership the rank and file of Germany were Christians doing God's good work...

Atheist argle bargle. Oppression whuuuuuuuuuuuuur boing olé olé biscuit barrel.

I am sure it was was completely lost on them that the guy in the portrait they were wielding was a Jewish man, if he did in fact exist at all in some form.
