The leftist Craig Hicks murdered three innocent Muslims. Imagine that! Who woulda thunk it?
The 20th Century was the century of mass-murdering atheist leftism - Hitler, Stalin, Pot Pot, Mao Tse Tung. It's been estimated up to 200 million died.
I've met atheists who claimed they were libertarians. Nope. They were actually leftist-libertarians, which means they were leftists. All of them were for open borders, which is leftist in that it thinks everyone is equal, including 70 IQ Africans with those who created advanced technological societies. So let us import every anti-American dipshit in the world.
And every damn one of them believed in evolution, no matter how many holes in are current theories. In fact, they thought they were experts on it.
Atheism, equality, evolution, leftism - I've never seen an exception to that.
Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn claimed leftism got its start with the Marquis de Sade, who considered people to be on par with insects. He makes a very strong case for it in his magnum opus, Leftism Revisited.
Why do people fall for leftism when its track record is slaughter and destruction? Leftism promises equality and security and the elimination of envy. But it never delivers. And your basic imperfect dumbass falls for it, over and over.
Democracy is always leftist (leftism is also feminine, for that matter).
So what we have now in the U.S. is democracy and feminism (of course they go together). Evolutionary theory full of holes - and the retarded in the Manosphere thinking Evo-Psych is a real science. Atheism and scientism.
It's not really hard to see where this is going to lead. As Russell Kirk wrote, Chaos and Old Night.

Heh, how many atheists do you know? Leftists are against evolution, because it belies their idea of equality. As for borders, why would you allow crossing it for free? Some form of upfront payment would keep a portion of 'undesirables' away.
One of postulates of evolution is variation. Differences in inherent ability and radical, universal equality are mutually exclusive.
I don't condone those murders, being an atheist myself. I think Hicks was mentally disturbed to act that way.
http://www.thecommentator.com/article/5607/first_victim_of_blasphemy_laws_would_be_islam_itself - an example how to defy Islam better than by unprovoked killing.
Those examples you and others cite endlessly were totalitarian personality cults mired in magical thinking and psychopathy. For the intellectually honest, what do they most remind you of - for the slow of thought - it isn't atheism.
Let me add. To point out that these regimes were atheistic is to miss the point. In all the ways that matter they were religious or quasi-religious in nature.
Let me add further. Those deaths can rightly be largely attributed not to atheists, but to mono and poly-theists.
Libertarianism and atheism are both ideologies that give succor and a sense of importance to the brainy and borderline autistic. Such people are often incomplete and have no understanding of culture and no concept of sanctity, so they hold onto to their atheism and libertarianism into adulthood. Both ideologies are simple, glorify elements of what is good at the expense of the entirety of what is good, and do away with the things they have no innate faculty for understanding. Chesterton wrote that modernity is the individual virtues of Christianity broken apart from one another and taken out of proportion. Ideological libertarianism and atheism are two manifestations of this.
Under the extreme form of libertarianism where liberty is the highest and nearly only ideal (I don't think it a strawman to put forward that such libertarianism exists or that it lacks defenders) there is no way to protect borders or culture without infringing on liberty. There are libertarian Rube Goldberg schemes that tortuously attempt to enforce borders without acknowledging unique cultural and ethnic boundaries (the only reason to have borders) but these ultimately would just end up reinventing government in a way that is linguistically friendly to libertarianism. Thus for practical purposes, libertarians have no way of seeing Somalians as being any thing other than economically and culturally fungible with Swedes or Americans. How can they still call themselves libertarians if they allow sanity and common sense to trump liberty? Libertarianism would be fine for the population of 1950s America, but it's practical usefulness effectively ends where diversity begins.
Consider the Cato Institute's treatment of former Czech President Vaclav Klaus for his support of Putin/denunciation of gay rights as an example of the above.
Heh, some liberties are not conducive to maintaining liberty. Emancipating children, for example. No need to involve sanctity, Rusty. It too often serves for 'my opinion is more holy than yours, so get with the program' shtick. Be as holy as you want, but don't try to hold strangers to the same standard without a good enough reason (from their POV, mind).
"Libertarianism and atheism are both ideologies that give succor and a sense of importance to the brainy and borderline autistic"
Indeed they are, which is why I am neither (such as the poster above who ignores that the 20th century is the age of atheist mass murder and tries to blame it on mono and polytheists). These are the kinds of people who claim Hitler was a Catholic.
Both ideologies are simplistic, pretty much divorced from reality, and in the long run will wreak havoc.
Who did the killing? Atheists? All of them? They were culturally and in fact overwhelmingly religious or quasi-religious. What they were not we're athiest.
Hitler, Stalin, Pot Pot, Mao Tse Tung - atheist. Up to 200 million dead. If you can't handle that, that's not my problem.
I already conceded that those regimes were atheistic, that they were not overtly religious in intent, only in execution.
The semi-devine supreme leader. The sacred texts. The great purpose.
And 200M dead at the hands of atheists? Look at those societies. It doesn't stand to reason.
God is just a construct of human psychology, a need to presuppose the existence of an entity to fill a gaping void in the minds of some men.
Autism, atheism, libertarianism, are also constructs of human psychology, and don't worry, some of us grow out of them eventually.
Then I guess we just become plain old psychopaths, but don't worry, we're quite human friendly.
Evo-psych is real, but not quite in the way that you think.
Think if the yin-yan, each side contains a small portion of the other.
People just seem funny when you know how they really work.
