as a non theist ( i find the term atheist confrontational i am not against anyone’s beliefs ) and as a Quaker-may i respectfully submit the following http://www.jonwatts.com/2014/quakers-believe-that-war-is-not-the-answer/
“Maybe you think I am just “squealing and grunting” ……..-——————————————————Same here. I never could understand the ‘anti-war’ mind-set even from the histories of the earliest ‘peaceful’ sorts. What they gonna do when ‘they who are bent on war’ come thundering over the hill to rape and pillage our village? Extend a hand of peace and love? So far, that tactic hasn’t worked.
Evolutism and athests (Mao, Stalin, hitler, polpot, Kim, etc) including Islam has killed more people in 20th century then all centuries combine trying to remove Judeo Christan values and G_d.
