Wow! While horrific things have certainly happened – and do happen – under atheistic rulers, it’s important not to attribute these sins to all individual atheists. Many Western atheists in particular are sort of “Christ-less Christians”. They have been immersed in the residual Judeo-Christian culture of the West for so long that they often resemble those with whom they disagree more than they realize – that’s why a book like D’Souza’s will make sense to many of them.

From Propaganda to forced institutionalization for “mental treatments”…drugs, shock therapy, etc….to outright torture and murder.

Gulags if you want to call them that.

That is what EVERY officially atheistic government has ever done.

No, of course I don’t mean gravity and the law of motion. We’d be in a lot of trouble if we disagreed over those! :)

In this context I was specifically referring to D’Souza’s views on evolution. Not the age of the earth, just evolution. He believes in evolution, and not all Christians do. The book had a definite pro-evolution slant, despite his efforts to remain strictly objective. This was disappointing because his argument is most effective in the sections in which he “gets out of the way.” If he’d put aside his own views on evolution and just described the differing theories that are debated by Christians, he would have had a stronger book. It seems to me that he was trying to do just that – and he didn’t quite succeed.

does she mean stuff like gravity and and the Law of Motion??

Or is she suggesting that evangelicals don’t believe science when science says the earth is 3.5+ billion years old? Just askin.
