Seems the metaphor was missed. Atheists can 'burn witches and books' just as much as religious people do. Such as Stalin's mass genocide against religion. Atheists are just as capable of ignorantly slaughtering millions for some pious ideals written in a "holy" book like the Communist Manifesto.
It's all just human nature, the names and ideologies change but the horrors of blind obedience to the mob mentality doesn't change.
The second point was referring to current events/social issues more than scientific issues. Some scientific data points are interpreted differently by different scientists leading to irregular conclusions. Most subjects,however, can be easily proven.
My point is to question everything: science, politics, religion, society, yourself and why some people feel compelled to use caps-lock in posts.

No, sorry Stalin and Pol Pot were not bad men because they were atheist, they were bad men who happened to be atheist.
It is very much the same as the difference between me stoning you because I personally hate you or me stoning you because god told me to.
One is my decision, and clearly wrong, the other is a holy mission and unquestionably righteous.
Does that make the REAL point clear? Oh and personally I never use capslock, I always hold shift while typing each letter it feels much more emphatic that way.
