As far as I know there has been no war fought in the name of atheism, yet.
South Park did do a very good episode on just this theme. While it was hilarious, and some may see it as a dig against wars fought in the name of religion, it also brings up the possibility of this actually happening. I can see it, Dawkins leads the charge with Mrs. Garrison by his side!
If atheism gains enough acceptance, and becomes mainstream, they'll almost certainly need someone to kill.
If L. Ron Hubbard can start a religion based on a sci-fi story, and said religion can spread faster than any in history, then anything can happen.

I believe in bashing all religions and supporting the Church of MacGyver... the only church where tube socks and gum are holy relics.

Although, if we wanna play the who's-got-the-bigger-wang game... I've actually been there and actually seen Afghan men beating Afghan women in living color. I've seen butt-naked children left in the streets alone in 120 degree heat.
Ghazni to Gardez to Sharana to Wazikwa. The place is a time machine.
What do I know?

And I've seen American men beating American women, neglected American children , and so on. Just watch the news, or turn on your police scanner any night of the week.
