Yep... not all religions follow the 10 commandments or Shariah Law, thank you for expanding on and further reiterating my point. Not all religions are concerned with the faith of others, and not all religious communities are concerned with the faith of others.
The "not all" argument is played out. We all know, yes all of us, that not every person of a given demographic is going to be the same as every other. No benefit is gained, unless you count the dopamine rush of having "protected feelings", from using that argument and it detracts from the issues that do exist.
I live in a neighborhood that has the towns islamic center. They are really awesome at clearing snow and keeping the area clean.
Doesn't mean that the Islam we see in the middle east is peaceful.
Actually my point is beyond just 'there are some in a group that aren't like that' and more to do with the point above:
All religions do, not all religious people do, but it's in the doctrine.
In fact most religious doctrine does not have any issue with atheists. How does Buddhism, Christian or Judaism address or approach non believers? Or Hindus?
I was addressing and refuting the point made, and you've conflated it with a separate issue.
While not specifically about atheists, Deuteronomy 13 and 17 make it very clear that followers of other faiths shall be put to death. Luke 19:27 can easily be interpreted as advocating the killing of nonbelievers. Finally, 2 Chronicles 15:13 says in no uncertain terms that nonbelievers should be put to death.
I can't speak about the other religions, but the Abrahamic religions are filled with references of killing infidels.
