The “Atheist” Neo-Nazi Just Convicted of Triple Murder Was No Atheist

[DavidDvorkin]

In April of 2014, white supremacist Frazier Glenn Miller, Jr., also known as Frazier Glenn Cross, shot and killed a boy, the boy’s grandfather, and a woman near a Kansas Jewish community center while shouting “Heil Hitler!” In a dark twist of fate, all three victims were white Christians. This week, Miller was convicted of capital murder. At his trial, he said he “wanted to kill Jews, not people,” and responded to the verdict with “Sieg Heil” and a Nazi salute.

Miller, who ran for several offices including U.S. House and Senate, has been described as “one of the pioneers in the modern hate world” and “a central figure of the white power movement.”

CNN has reported that Miller is a neo-pagan who also “self-identified as an atheist,” who uses anti-Christian rhetoric.

1. I posted this in Religion

and the discussion is going in some very strange directions.

2. The person who's talking at you hasn't read the article

That much is painfully obvious.

Edit: I say "talking at" because his intention is to derail, not discuss--otherwise he would've taken a few minutes to read the article. I could be wildly optimistic in thinking that, though.

3. I think you're right on all counts.

4. Doesn't sound like an atheist to me!

Belief in any deity is not atheism. He is simply Nazi scum who failed miserably at killing Jews. The Aryan Nation is not going to embrace him when he arrives; they see him as nothing but a traitor.

6. That's why they pushed that "I'm an atheist who believes in god" guy

As I said before, there is literally one requirement to being an atheist.

The takeaway here is that they view anyone not of their religion in the same light.
