Lol fair. I absolutely do not believe there's no bad atheist leaders (although there aren't many admitted atheist leaders). It's just, with them you don't have to specifically worry about them forcing their religious beliefs on their constituents. It's like how white privilege doesn't mean you don't struggle, you just don't have that particular hurdle

It's not the book itself, it's the ability people have to twist whatever sacred words into whatever result they want, and if they're respected in the religion people will go along with it. People using other people's earnest religious belief to get them to do or go along with horrible things is a tale as old as time
