The bad content of religions is due to materialistic contamination and sectarian spirit.

Real religion (like everything else) emanates from the infinitely intelligent, and inconceivably powerful Absolute Person, who is all-pervasive and all-good.

The theistic conception of morality is based on conditioned individual souls following God's laws in order to permanently escape material suffering (caused by our ignorantly trying to enjoy and exploit nature.)

There has been a considerable amount of killing done in the name of God and religion, but not nearly as much as the huge death toll (upwards 100 million) exacted by secular atheistic regimes of the 20th Century...

The "evolutionary based moral framework" (where right is distinguished from wrong based on what is good for survival of the species) has proven to have disastrous cultural implications.

In a debate with Hitchens, Rabbi Boteach made the following argument regarding Hitler:

�According to Sir Arthur Keith, Britain�s leading evolutionary scientist of the mid-20th century, Hitler�s ideas of a master race were the direct product of evolutionary thinking. Keith wrote:

�To see evolutionary measures and tribal morality being applied vigorously to the affairs of a great modern nation, we must turn again to Germany of 1942. We see Hitler devoutly convinced that evolution produced the only real basis for a national policy� The means he adopted to secure the destiny of his race and people were organized slaughter� The German Fuhrer, as I have consistently maintained, is an evolutionist; he has consciously sought to make the practice of Germany conform to the theory of evolution� war is the necessary outcome of Darwin�s theory.�

Such a materialistic, "evolutionary" basis for morality plays into the hands of pyschopaths like Hitler.

A devotee contrasts theistic morality with the godless variety as follows:

So the outlook of the devotee and the psychopath are distinct in that the devotee of God embraces a positive concept of eternal life and a deeply satisfying primordial relationship with a Perfect Person. The evolutionary atheist refuses such optimism in favor of a mechanistic existential summation of themselves and all other forms of life. In this way they can justify genocide, patricide, homicide, environmental exploitation and practically every other social ill we face today as merely consequences of our inherent will to survive.

Moreover, they are fully ignorant that even the observable will to survive that is instinctive to every species of life is a result of our far more deeply rooted identification as an undying spiritual entity. Otherwise, why even bother with the concept of survival? What�s it worth? Where did the basic notion of continuation of our life even come from? If we are just a lump of chemicals then why bother with the hassle of survival? Who put that instinct to survive there? How can composite helixes of DNA develop the desire to sustain themselves as a species? Where does this consciousness come from? Enough with the rhetorical questions - this is where the death-mongering atheistic so-called thinkers get stuck. They cannot answer this question without accepting that even the very perspective from which they posit their own dim theories exists beyond the scope of their sensory perception.

�A devotee feels the presence of God everywhere, yet a person averse to the Lord denies his existence anywhere.�

Theists kill other theists - and anyone else who happens to be the object of their hate - as an end it itself. I realize not all killing in the name of religion is like this, but much is.

Stalin killed a lot of people and was an atheist, but then again he was also a heliocentrist. He wore socks also.
