Can't think a possible reason... it just doesn't compute. Atheism and Agnosticism are not a belief but a lack of one because of rational reasons. What kind of possible quarrel between these two?

The article is a rather obvious satirical piece.

It would be 'funny cuz it's true' only if atheists were not responsible for the greatest amount of death in the 20th century (ie Communists of various shades in Russia & China).

Also people whose name was not Adolf were responsible for the greatest amount of death.

Men, as a group, are also responsible for the "greatest amount of death" in the 20th century. Just letting you know in case you ever decide to make a joke about men.

Right, but the article jokes specifically about atheists.

This century they sure are a peaceful bunch - but past record is pretty atrocious.

On the other hand, one could make a case that communists were not 'true' atheists - they just replaced Jesus with Marx-Lenin-Mao, but ostensibly they espoused atheism.

> This century they sure are a peaceful bunch - but past record is pretty atrocious.

Their record within the 20th century is atrocious. Do they have an atrocious record in any other century?

I was a bit suspicious about the truthyness of the article, until I saw "rabbits eat onions" at the bottom.

I admit I believed the headline. Somewhat amusing article, but I can't see this doing well on HN.

The OP is posting BS links to BS sites, this is the 2nd today.. Linkbaiting for points ill guess...
