7. Atheists don't blame their evil on Zeus or a Spaghetti Monster.

Nor do atheists pat themselves on the back when a secular society forces them to do the right thing. For ALL humanists, slavery is evil, rape is evil, genocide is evil . . . Yes, black and white. Add religion, and suddenly it's all a gray "way of thinking." The whole point of calling it "religious humanism" is to soft pedal the RELIGION, thereby yet again whitewashing its past with a simple "Yea, that, but look at us now."
