I know a lot of theistic evolutionists. Attempts here to portray evolution as a social system which requires people to be atheistic, amoral and hedonistic, are obvious straw men For that matter, of all the atheistic (sometimes evolutionists, sometimes not) people I have known, every single one has been the exemplary model of kindness and sound morals. I'm not here to trash talk Christianity but I've worked in many an office where the die-hard, ostentatiously Christian personas were exemplary models of abusive, self-destructive personalities. Now that's not to say every Christian I have known was, just the ones who were overtly Christian, always going on and on about the bible (to an obsessively compulsive level, not a healthy, 'I embrace my faith' level); yet I've never met one full-fledged 'I believe when you die you simply cease to exist' atheist who fell into this category. I am not an atheist, but I oppose anyone who feels the need to demonize atheism simply for the sake of assuaging their own religious scruples (or lack thereof). Historically speaking religion, not atheism, has sparked more atrocity the world over. For every example you show me of atheism being used for malefic purposes, I'll show you ten where religon did the same - in spades.
