1 Atheism Is Responsible For The Worst
Genocides In History:

This misconception attempts to place the
blame of inhuman acts like the Holocaust on
atheism because many dictators of the age
were atheists. This is known as the Atheist
Atrocities Fallacy and is most often used by
theists to prove the evil of atheism with
statements like, “Well, what about Stalin, Pol
Pot, and Hitler? They were atheists, and they
killed millions !”
Those dictators were responsible for the
deaths of millions of people, but that’s not
because they were atheists. In fact, Hitler
wasn’t an atheist; he was a devout Christian
by his own testament. Stalin was an atheist,
but he never killed anyone “in the name of
atheism” but rather solely to achieve political
or nationalistic goals.

3 Atheists Are Ignorant When It Comes To
Religion(s):

This misconception stems from the belief that
someone who doesn’t believe in God is
ignorant to His teachings. Because of this,
people often proselytize atheists, hoping to
educate and convert them. The truth is that
most atheists are well-informed when it comes
to religions and are usually familiar with
several, while most theists are only familiar
with their own and may often know less than
the atheist they are hoping to convert.
A recent study on religious knowledge in the
United States found that atheists and agnostics
know more about religions than any other
group. Many people who now call themselves
atheist or agnostic were once active members
in a church of some type. Further study of
their own religion may have pushed them to
look elsewhere and find that they either
desired another faith or didn’t believe at all.
This thirst for knowledge tends to lead people
out of the church and into an atheistic world
view.

6 Atheists Have No Morals:

How could anyone have morality without
God? That is a question asked by theists who
believe that morality is derived from religion.
This may be true for them, but there are
many people who don’t share religious beliefs
but do share the same moral beliefs.
Many theists believe that atheists lack a moral
compass due to their disbelief in any god and
conclude that “there is no such thing as a
good atheist,” but this is a broad
generalization with no merit whatsoever.
Morality is difficult to define because there
are countless theories explaining it as a
sociobiological evolution or even a logical
conclusion. A person’s morality tends to
express itself in how they treat other people,
and many atheists appear to live according to
the policy of treating others as they would
like to be treated, also known as the Golden
Rule.

8 Atheists Are Unhappy, Angry People:

It is difficult to quantify whether an entire
group of nonbelievers is happy or not, but this
misconception comes from the Christian belief
that a person cannot be happy without God in
their lives. There are atheists all over the
planet who are unhappy for a plethora of
reasons, but the same is true of theists as
well.
Atheists who voice their opinions can do so
with vitriol and seem unhappy. Authors and
scientists like Christopher Hitchens and
Richard Dawkins appear to be angry during
interviews, but in a lot of ways, they were
simply frustrated with the nature of the
discussion. Atheists who understand the
basics of evolution and cosmology do not want
to discuss theology as an opposing viewpoint
because it is not applicable to the discussion.
When someone tries to bring up the idea of a
Crocoduck in a discussion about evolution, an
atheist often reacts with frustration and even
anger, but that doesn’t mean that they’re
generally unhappy people.

On January 1, 2011, CNN reported:

“ People unaffiliated with organized religion, atheists and agnostics also report anger toward God either in the past, or anger focused on a hypothetical image - that is, what they imagined God might be like - said lead study author Julie Exline, Case Western Reserve University psychologist.In studies on college students, atheists and agnostics reported more anger at God during their lifetimes than believers.



The agnostic Rodney Stark, co-director of Baylor University’s Institute for Studies of Religion, commenting on the New Atheism movement said\

“The religious people don’t care about the irreligious people, but the irreligious are prickly. I think they’re just angry.”

Without God everything is permitted . Atheists have no morals since they deny God's existence . God remains the source of morality .

Anyone who attempts absolving atheism as the animus that led to the killings of those religious people is grossly ignorant of what communism stands for .
