The mindset is almost identical. It is only with the determined moral certitude that they possess, absent of any fact, that could justify their spiteful, impetuous and downright evil world view. It is only through the lens of "god" that they could ever justify what they wreak and is indiscernible from fundamentalist islam.

When you possess an ideology that, at its core, says "you" are superior to "them", bad things are inevitable. That said, as Atheist we are not immune just much less susceptible as long as we keep questioning at the forefront.
