Religion is evil and has been used as a excuse to commit all kinds of heinous acts. The nazis were christian and committed heinous acts in the name of Christianity.

Most of our founding fathers were atheists and deists and realized the evils of religion so they decided to create a secular nation. Religion is a form of oppression. We have a church that says condoms make the HIV problem in africa worst. Religious fanatics here spend more money stopping gays from getting married instead of donating to charity or helping the poor. They also want to indoctrinate our children with false creationists theories. A society w/o religion like norway is a much happier one.
I would have to wonder where you get your information: While there were atheists among the founding fathers, most accounts put the number far less than a plurality. I'ml not sure that diests was even a word in common usage in the late 1700's. They did not create a secular nation, rather a nation free from any official religion. Religion spends more money stopping gays from getting married than donating etc, I would need a citation for that statement. The official church of Norway is the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Norway, and roughly 80% of the Norwegians belonging to that church. While there may be some anti condom churches encouraging Africans to not use condoms. I suspect I could find a religion that believed that all atheists should be hanged. While you might make the argument that Hitler was a christian in name, few would say that he was a christian in principle. Although he sometimes claimed to be a christian in later years, he ceased participating in any church early on.
BTW, I am an atheist myself, I just do not use false information to denigrate those who disagree with me.
