They've shown their god given morality all over the place, crucifying people, beheading them and generally massacring anyone who is doing it wrong.
I'm yet to see an atheist state attempting to spread their lack of belief all over the shop. I could be wrong, happy to be shown to be wrong but I can't recall it happening, ever. Yet history is littered with examples of religious zealots prepared to kill people in their thousands to advance their ideology.
Before anyone throws up the nazis and communism, they were political ideologies and not about advancing a religion. That Jews were targeted by nazis is a bit of a red herring since they were about racial purity rather than advancing the religious beliefs of their Catholic leader.
Que the big 3 fallacy.
