The Trinity isn't mentioned anywhere in the bible, nor even hinted at before the new testament.
you're telling me you can't be christian without being Trinitarain?

The New Testament itself is pretty clear about the trinity though, and that's the basis of Christian belief as it survives today. The Old Testament is like garnish for them.

A lot of people on the Shroomery have a kind of atheism-vision where they are incapable of noticing anything good about any form of religious expression and incapable of noticing anything bad about any practice of atheism (in spite of atheist organizations being responsible for the murder of hundreds of millions of people last century alone).
Like most fundamentalist belief systems in practice, antitheism is a form of bigotry.

The ironic part is that they usually inherit the qualities and attitudes that caused their parents to be overbearing in the first place. This is not really about religion.

If you are referring to communism as the destructive atheist entity, I would say that the State serves the function of God, and that because there is a central figure you must be devout to, there is not atheism in practice. Since the state replaces God as the object of worship, therefore I think it is theism where God merely has a different face. A true atheist is as skeptical about his country as a God. Communism and Theism both rely on faith in a higher entity. In this case, the state.

There are thousands of people dying of aids because of the catholic church's stance on condoms. Stem cell research which could have helped a lot of people with various illnesses have been held back by religious zealots. The catholic church have covered up the rape of children. Wars are being fought because the followers of one holy book doesn't agree with the followers of another holy book. Children have their genitals mutilated. Etc etc etc.. Organized religion is the very definition of evil.

Communism and Theism both rely on faith in a higher entity. In this case, the state.
This is very easy to say when you're living in a country that provides for freedom of information and freedom of speech, but totally moot when you live under Godless Communism. You're a dirt farmer and the state has an army. Where's your skepticism now? Get in line.
I realize I'm adopting a fairly extreme argument right here, but I'd also like to add that I'm not referring only to communism; I'm also referring to other programs such as national socialism, which were nominally religious but had atheistic leadership and were not accountable to any religious community. Saddam Hussein's government offers a handy microcosmic example of how the moral compunctions of a state vanish soon after the collapse of its religious authority, leading almost immediately to genocide and mass murder.
I'm not suggesting that atheism contributes to personal degradation or a decay of morals in the individual. I know far too many good-hearted atheists and rotten-hearted Christians to believe that kind of bull. However, from an institutional, societal perspective, the correlation seems a bit stronger.
As a final aside, it probably stings to hear this, but we have radical Christians to thank for our freedom to reject the existence of God.
