Sorry, but to reject them is conceit.  What logical reason is there not to 
eat an undesireable child for dinner?  It might even be good for more than 
one dinner....If you use it as a soup base.  Children and the homeless might 
be rather tasty cooked medium well and dipped in A1, with a white wine on 
the side.  Maybe strawberry cheesecake would be a good desert.  Whats with 
burying the dead when you can eat them and preserve the vitamins and 
minerals that are already available?

What reason not to either kill all the religious people, or designate a 
specific faith, and kill all the rest? The ongoing stuggle between the 
faiths has no productive outcome for the human race at large.   Reason 
argues that not all of the faiths, especially mutually exclusive faiths, can 
be correct and reason also states that if one of the faiths is right, it 
will survive any purges as god will come down and save the little sheep. 
Thus by reason, Hitler did nothing wrong.  It was just an exercise in 
judgement.  Unfortunatly, for Hitler, he didn't succeed.  Perhaps validating 
the reasonable argument that the Jews did follow a real god.  Perhaps if he 
chose to eliminate the other faiths, GOD would have allowed it, because he 
doesn't give a damn about anyone else, until hitler got around to jews 
again.

By reason, the best way to see if god is on your side is attack your enemies 
and see if you win.
