    I see religion as a dangerous thing. It's caused way more sh!t than any scientific or engineering accident.
    Butts.

If the reasoning for the war had been to rid the nation from it's dictator and leave it wouldn't have been a big deal, but that wasn't the reason for the war and if this is new to you then I have nothing but facepalms as a response. The official reasoning was that Saddam had unproven ties to al qaeda and that they had WMDs. It has since come out that the WMDs they had claimed were there were not, but were lies illogically pushed even when unrecognized by the UN. There was no Shiite, Sunni civil war beforehand, the oil-driven war which saw to a corrupt puppet government caused those divisions. As for the conflict in Bahrain, it's under the guise of a religious conflict once again. They Saudi royals only care for the bottom line and power. An Iranian influenced Bahrain under their sphere is not accepted. And the spectating world does nothing because it's Saudi ****ing Arabia. People are often driven to war for material gain and injustice, were the world shaped to oust those with a selfish motive and consistently strive for justice then war wouldn't be a problem.

    well technically you aren't born knowing any religion, hence you don't believe in any god right out of the womb, therefore you do qualify as an atheist (under the definition of "one who does not believe in a god or gods")

    You're not born with the cognitive skills for any belief. Etymologically speaking (in nearly every language that has used the term), it refers to a denial of god. Simply not believing in god would fit more with common apathy, or in an infant's case, ignorance.

    still counts under the basic definition of atheism, which is no belief in a god

    I thought atheism was a belief that there is no god or gods. Which is still a belief?

    It doesn't refer to an absence of belief, it refers to a belief of absence.
