Is that supposed to disprove religion or something?

No. I also didn't even come close to claiming it did.

Please read the OP properly before you respond.

You said/implied that secular countries never commit atrocities but religious countries do, implying that religion has a negative influence of public policy... even though there are plenty of secular countries in history that have killed tens of millions of people (Mao's China, Stalin's Soviet Union, Hitler's Germany, etc.).

Secular is the same as non-religious/atheist, as we all know. I'm going to assume you're going to try and make a meaningless distinction that those countries I listed aren't atheist, rather that they're anti-theist. But at that point you can make the same distinction among religious countries (e.g. religiously violent countries and religiously peaceful countries).

And, name me a moral act which can be committed by a believer which can't be committed by a non-believer.

Is that supposed to disprove religion or something? Oh no you got us atheists! God isn't real because atheists can do the same things religious people can!

I know I just joined here and I'm getting into an argument but this stuff pisses me off.

What was that?
