All these terrorist bombings are for religion and that's the bottom line. You don't see anyone bombing for atheism or capitalism, do you?

So if the Bible isn't about killing infidels, how do you explain the Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah? God wipes out the entire Earth, with the exception of one family, because their sinners. The Bible also endorses slavery, rape, stoning, incest, and other terrible things. It's not a moral book.
I don't know why you would blow up something up because you're an athiest. That strikes me as completely illogical. "I'm motivated to do something by a non-belief." That's just silly statement on your part. However, look at Chairman Mao, who squashed freedom of religion, and set himself up as a demagogue. He wasn't exactly like the nicest guy in the world was he?
Also, your statement about capitalism is pretty stupid. While yes, no one is strapping a bomb to their chest and blowing up communes, the amount of evils (e.g. wars, sweatshops) done in the name of capitalism, just in the past decade, is just as wrong as 9/11, in fact, I would argue it's even worse.
