i know most christians would never think of committing acts of violence all on their own, but mob mentality creates a morality of its own. a spiritual war can easily become a prelude to the real thing.
Sure, those who call themselves "Christians" have killed people before... such as the KKK. While were on the topic, lets not forget that the Atheist regimes of Hitler and Stalin murdered tens of millions of people in their own right. Am I as scared that atheists are going to start committing random acts of violence? No, I'm not. Violent people (whether they're Atheist or Christian or any other religion) commit acts of violence. Period.

But if you are still going to argue that deeply held faith or the lack thereof causes violence (an argument I disagree with, as I just said) I think history would show atheism has resulted in many times more deaths then Christianity.
