2. The statistic related to communist victims is false. I am not defending these regimes, but the Inquisition, Thirty Years War, the many Balkan Wars, the Troubles in Ireland, Holocaust (most Waffen-SS were practicing Christians), the Crusades, and countless other religious conflicts have together claimed an unknowable, but enormous, amount of lives.
3. Dropping birth rates has more to do with economic development and contraception than anything else. Wise couples wait for financial security before having kids, and are able to control their own reproduction. If this is bad, then Klavan and I have fundamentally different views of morality.
5. Atheism isn't mainstream in the media. The only demographic I know it to be dominant in is academia (correct me if I'm wrong, my data may be out of date). Of the "non-religious" demographic, most are deist, apathetic, or vaguely spiritual. Bold agnosticism is rare, atheism even rarer. Especially in America, very few are pressured into atheism.
6. I don't need to elaborate on how many non-believing authors and scientists there are. I probably don't need to mention any secular civil rights activists, but for the doubtful, the most famous two are John Stewart Mill and A. Philip Randolph. There are, of course, countless more.
8. Non-believers are not less charitable (see point 4).
If Klavan weren't so friendly I might be more annoyed with this video. I am just disappointed that PJTV once again has awkwardly married religious conviction with economic liberalism and fiscal conservatism. I enjoy PJTV's support of small government and there is some real talent here. Many my religious friends are Democrats and many of my atheist friends are classical liberals. PJTV's audience will not uniformly embrace this video's message.
That being said, I still find Klavan entertaining and will continually support PJTV.
"...some of the strongest and most brilliant people I know are non-believers and think Christians believe in some made up man in the sky that's impossible to prove exists. How can one say He can't be proven when they have never chosen to undertake the Substance (God's Word) they are to use to apply (test/practice) the Formula (Jesus) in their own Lab (Life)? I mean, how do scientists prove something? By only asking questions? By merely pondering theories? No."

On USSR and China:
guess what the people stuffing jews in gas chambers believed in? protip: they had "Got with us" on their belt buckles
seriously though conservatives need to stop talking about religion. Who the hell cares if I dont believe in Jesus? belief is meant to be a personal thing. My atheism doesn't affect you.
what DOES matter is this: LIBERTY
as long as I believe in low taxes, small government and individual freedom, then my religious beliefs shouldn't matter, and its actually counter-productive for you to be so intolerant of atheism. I've seen many atheist friends who may have been open to the aforementioned principles, but were alienated by the relentless atheism bashing and scapegoating done by the religious right
if they don't believe in god, then sucks for them if they're wrong, but no biggie for you. However, they are left wing? THATS where the problem is.
And while we're at it, what kind of judge would accept the death of the innocent in place of the guilty? If a King did this there would be outrage throughout his kingdom. www.jesus-wept.net/guilty.htm
and to quote ayn rand (don't label me as an objectivist): "laying your argument on faith is to admit that reason is on the side of ones enemies".
look i have many good religious friends: muslims, jews and christians....how come you talk about faith in god in general, yet pretty much only talk about christians? i'll tell you why- because as time goes by arguing for miracles and revelation for a specific religion came under ridicule...but if you talk vaguely to the point of white noise on "faith" and "experience of god" people won't push you away immediately.
i have no problem with believers who haven't learned the arguments against their position and who's belief in god, the bible and faith in general makes them happy....but as far as pundits and opinion shapers are concerned, i cannot forgive your fallacies.
i LOVE pjtv but this video, even though IT IS HILARIOUS, but when i delve into the ideas behind this video it really pisses me off.
first of all- FOR THE LAST TIME, the problem with the soviet union wasn't they were ATHEISTS, it was that they were COMMUNISTS.
and a thing that always amazes me about free market espousing Christians is they always bring up communism's death toll to show how it's really atheism's death toll. it amazes me because free market people usually understand economics better partially because they better understand the UNSEEN consequences of intervention....yet they don't think about the lost living standard, the unfulfilled technological and scientific potential, the wealth not created, the unnecessary superstition, the mental torture, the shame, the MAN worship, the carnage, the non acceptance of modernity, the dogmatism, and the lies RELIGION has brought about.
Actually the thing I'm most confused by is when atheists are actually offended when christians or religions in general attempt to give them advice on faith. Sure I don't believe in it but i think about it this way, someone else truly believes that my immortal soul might be in danger and takes the time out of their day to attempt to save it. I'm often flattered and humbled by the thought and intention behind the sentiment. Great video
