look to your own quote below to see why this is a hollow argument. there's no causation. like you said, the conquest and murders were imperialistic in nature. why are you so preoccupied with the justifications that were offered? do you think the americas wouldn't have been taken by conquest without religious justification? there's always some justification. nobody ever just says "we're committing atrocities, deal with it". we've seen too many of these horrors committed by secular governments to seriously believe religion is the driving force. hitler, stalin, mao, pol pot -- they did the same things without any religious justifications

inb4 pol pot and stalin etc, even though they were simply atheists who killed millions and not killing millions in the name of atheism. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
