@Servant_of_the_One1 , @A Disgruntled Scotsman : It seems to me that derailing this into some agenda driven (a) rant against "Atheist Terrorism" or (b) "atheism is only the lack of belief" debate does a real disservice to the topic. What we have here is a despicable racist hate crime enacted by a despicable bigot.
And if somebody doesn't check Servant's arguments he'll probably try and turn this unfortunate incident into another example of how atheism is evil, immoral and motivates people to commit crimes etc and do so while remaining unchallenged. Sadly by this point it seems a tad late to stop the thread being derailed.
