A gang armed with machetes has hacked a secular blogger to death at his home in Dhaka in the fourth such murder in Bangladesh since the start of the year, an activist group and police have said.
Niloy Chatterjee, who used the pen-name Niloy Neel, was murdered on Friday after the men broke into his flat in the capital's Goran neighbourhood, according to the Bangladesh Blogger and Activist Network, which was alerted to the attack by a witness.
"They entered his room in the fifth floor and shoved his friend aside and then hacked him to death. He was a listed target of the Islamist militants," the network's head Imran H Sarker, told the AFP news agency.
Chatterjee, 40, was a critic of religious extremism that led to bombings in mosques and the killing of numerous civilians, Sarker said.

What the fuck is worng with you that you ignore the whole all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present bit plus the ultimate gulag for dissidents and are instead hyper-focussed on the bit of the myth that says you get killed before you're zombified to be sent to the gulag?
I get it. You're a Moron, and you really don't want people pointing out that Moronism is a fantasy about the ultimate tyranny. You really do love Big Brother because Big Brother loves you and, even if you didn't love him, Room 101 just isn't your style.
But do you really think you're making your elders happy by making your fantasy look so spectacularly Moronic? Don't you realize that, every time you post that your Hell doesn't have all that much crunchy frog in it, you're reminding everybody of just how awesomely purely evil your gods are to have even thought of such a thing in the first place, even if they save it only for the most special of special cases?

All but God can prove this sentence true.

I am having a hell of time parsing that. So I am just going to restate your original argument and my critique:
You: Religion is totalitarian because you have to follow rules while you are alive or face eternal punishment after death.
Me: Nope. Lots of religions don't work that way. For example, mormons can do whatever they want while they are alive and not face eternal punishment.
> I get it. You're a Moron,
What? You dumbfuck. Of course you think I am religionist, in your simplistic world view, anyone who isn't a fucking raving anthithiest must be a brainwashed religionist. I was born an atheist and have always been an atheist. Like most real atheists, I know more about religion than religionists. [pewforum.org] Your ignorance of religion just goes to show that you are a religionist too, you just are too deep into your faith to even realize it is a faith.
