Now Blade Runner likes to point his crooked little finger at secularists, who he interprets to be exclusively atheists, as being the greatest mass murderers in all of human history. Now to reach that 'greatest number theory' he includes all the murders committed by c*******ts and f*****ts even though f*****m is a right-wing ideology. Now the meme below illustrates the error in Blade Runner's thinking and that's that the greatest genocide in world history happened right here in the Western Hemisphere and was committed by people who primarily made up of the Christian faith.

And for the record, secularism isn't a belief system exclusive to atheists but a belief system exclusive to people who believe in the highest form of personal freedom. Now, why is that you ask? Well simple. Say the nation you live in was founded by Christians and based solely on Christian values. Well, say you are a homosexual or have no faith are you allowed the same quality of life as everyone else? If not, then we have failed in the central premise of the founding documents and that is each person is offered the same opportunity as everyone else.

If we live in a country that doesn't offer the same opportunity equally to everyone, then we have the freedom that is conditional based on the bias of the prevailing religion/majority which isn't true freedom at all. Freedom exists only if you believe as the majority believes. If you don't then you are only free conditionally and a conditional freedom can be yanked out from under the feet of any and every man!

And on a fact check: Indigenous people north and south were displaced, died of disease, and were k**led by Europeans through s***ery, rape, and war. In 1491, about 145 million people lived in the western hemisphere. By 1691, the population of indigenous Americans had declined by 90–95 percent, or by around 130 million people.
