@Yorumi science does wrong and it's constantly evolving as we learn new things, using a method Galileo devised in 1600 and that is still used. In 1800/first years of 1900 we didn't know about DNA and genetics so scientists had to base themselves on biological features. As genetic science developed, we found out that humans have no races.
About young earth creationism I don't even want to talk. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Evidence_against_a_recent_creation and please link me a source for "all atheists want creationists to be jailed", since all I know is that they don't want it taught in US schools (sorry, Italian here...) since it's scientifically wrong.
About abortion, please link me sources for all your claims about " atheists". All I've studied is that currently most scientists hold that up to a certain point in brain fetal development you can't classify an embyo as an human being. Laws about it are based on this.
And about hypocrisy: all of us have a bad side. But leveraging a faith to direct said bad side against other people is bad. This doesn't make it fine to kill people, you're making me saying things I didn't say. And all those dictators created a sort of religion, with themselves as a deity. This also happened in ancient Rome and ancient Egypt, and somewhat by most of the modern emperors/kings who claimed they were "appointed by God" and their power was of divine origins.
@Yorumi you completely misunderstood evolution. The simplest way to define a species is "specimens of different species can't generate fertile offspring". Homo sapiens, our species, is an unique species. Races are an entirely different thing and are based on genetic criteria. Races in a certain species can have fertile offspring, and homo sapiens has no races. Leaving eugenetics aside, which is horrible and isn't caused by lack of faith itself, you demonize abortion. About this, science has its own beliefs (we can't define an embryo as an human being up to a certain part of brain development) while most Christians argue that a fertilized egg already has a soul. But a lay state can't base itself on a religious belief, I hope you can attest to that. So abortion up to that moment isn't legally or scientifically murder. But science and the law agree with you that from that point onwards it's murder. About the atheist dictators, it's again human nature behind it. The difference here is that religious teachings are used by some people to direct other believers' bad side against others for their own gain (be it " salvation ", but gains are often economical in nature), so there's a layer of hypocrisy that is really bad.
@andrea987 I might agree that the human nature and psychology is the root cause of all suffering... But religion is the way our bad side is too much often addressed towards certain kinds of people. And hypocrisy is really bad (telling something is about love when it gives a reason for so many bad things to happen, for the gain of the people who misuse people's faith).
@Yorumi are you saying agnosticism (the Russian dictatorships and others were in fact agnostic), by definition lack of faith (not denial of some sort of deity) caused killings? The difference here is that many people were killed because of religious teaching themselves while lack of faith by itself is just that, lack of faith. It's not a religion, doesn't have teachings.
To those who are so adamant that this game is anti-<insert religion here>, please stop and let us enjoy the game. Your religion has killed and caused so many real suffering in the last few millennia, that it makes criticizing a satirical videogame irrelevant.
