General query: evidence of support? Because, without evidence, this claim fails into the same issue as religion. Have faith in whatever belief you want. Just don't mistake not believing in gods is the same as not believing.

Are you asking me to prove that something doesn't exist? It's a tired old argument and it's been done to death.
Just don't mistake not believing in gods is the same as not believing.
Um... huh? I'd hate to type a reply to this since I'm not certain what you're trying to say. Can I have a tiny bit of elaboration?

Well, most of what is messed up about Christianity comes from the old testament which is the foundation of Judaism while the new testament is the more important to Christianity. So if you know Christianity is bogus you know why Judaism is ridiculous.

It is important to note that on average, Christians take a much more literal view of the OT than Jews do. For example: Jews know that Psalms wasn't written by David, and Proverbs wasn't written by Solomon. Judaism is like 3/4 culture 1/4 faith. Any Jew that isn't a zionist will probably tell you straight up that violence in the name of a religious belief is never ok.
Christianity and Islam are both pretty violent when in a position of power. Based on what I've seen of Judaism, I'd put it about on par with something more like Buddhism in terms of how much it has contributed to "the problem" with religions. It's mostly harmless, and on top of that most of its practitioners are rather aware that they're probably just playing a many thousands of years old game of make believe.

Christians also know that the OT has been supercede by the NT and has essentially no bearing upon Christianity other than historical context.
The only reason Jews abandoned violence is because they have been defeated so many times that they have been forced to do so. Their history before that is full of the typical genocide, slavery and rape expected of dogmatic faiths.
