Evelyn Waugh the novelist converted to Catholicism and was also known as
a real prick. When someone asked him how he squared the two he replied
that without religion he would be a lot worse.

So STFU before you convince them that atheism is the way to go. Ammo
is not only expensive and almost can't be found these days, so I don't
need a few million more a-holes junkin' around my town with no fear of
gawd or hell.

I doubt you would find much belief in either among the rioters. Some of
them don't even believe in the divine power of 230 grains of lead
traveling at 900 ft/s. That's what you get when you replace religion,
whether it is true or not, with nihilism.
