Helen Lewis, The Atlantic: Douglas Wilson has a modest proposal to improve American life: He wants to repeal the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave women the vote. In his ideal system, "we would do it in our politics the same way we do it in our church structure," he told me recently.
Wilson believes that women should "not ordinarily" hold political office, and should never serve in combat roles in the military. Husbands should have dominion over misbehaving wives' weight, spending habits, and choice of television programs. His uncompromising vision for America was once considered marginal, the conservative writer Karen Swallow Prior told me. Since his elevation by [Pete] Hegseth, however, "no one can credibly say that Doug Wilson is fringe anymore."
So we can likewise say the ethnic cleansing of the New World was attributed to policies enacted by Christian regimes, right Corky?
I don't believe the policies of the newcomers were to transmit diseases that the natives couldn't handle.
Epidemics of smallpox, typhus, influenza, diphtheria, and measles swept the Americas subsequent to European contact, killing between 10 million and 100 million people, up to 95% of the indigenous population of the Americas.

The ratio of deaths from disease vs "policy" should help you understand the difference between atheists and theists.
But hey you like lying to yourself, so don't let facts get in the way.
You're stretching to make a point no one is arguing.
As I said, both atheism and theism can be used for evil purposes.
"The Taiping Rebellion (1850"1864) was directly inspired by a unique, syncretic interpretation of Christianity promoted by Hong Xiuquan, who believed himself to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ.
This movement aimed to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and create a "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" based on radical social equality.
The Leader's Vision: Hong Xiuquan, after failing civil service examinations, was influenced by Protestant missionary pamphlets, leading to visions where he believed he was mandated by God to reform China and eliminate the Manchu-led Qing government."

Damn those insidious pamphlets!

The Best God Joke Ever
by Emo Phillips
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"
Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
Why do Rwingers Hate Democracy?
Well I think they like the constitution, the Senate isn't supposed to be the hoi poloi.
Loss of Democratic Rights: Repeal would remove the ability of citizens to directly vote for their senators, taking a significant step backward in democratic representation
While true, it would add stability to the Senate, and less grandstanding. The Senate obviously was meant to represent the States, and very indirectly the people.
The Republic that was created, was very carefully debated and crafted to avoid MOB rule, it would appear by going completely "democratic" (51%) the system would turn into a mob rule and destruction of individual rights.
Jefferson warned them that corrupt men and banks and corporations were more dangerous than armies.
"Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%."
~Jefferson

*** Phony Christian Propagates More Christian Misogyny, Like the Taliban ***
"Far-right good-for-nothing Christian nationalist pastor Dale Partridge is a vocal advocate of instituting biblical patriarchy in America who seeks, among other things, to deny women the right to vote.
Partridge also believes that women should not be able to work, though he is willing to tolerate exceptions in certain circumstances, provided that the work they do models 'feminine expressions of career'."
