text: @rollandx I think you are failing to differentiate between dictators and non-theist. Dictators don't like competition in the telling you what to think department, that is why they abolish religion. The dictator wasn't put in power by these evil atheists you speak of, they took power. There have been many dictators in communism, socialism, and capitalism. All of these non-religious societies suffered not because of lack of religion, but because of enforced totalitarianism. Non-theists view religion as cancer of the mind; it keeps growing and extending its self from past generations. Some are able to free themselves of it, but many aren't so lucky.
