For the atheist:
1. Murder is not wrong in all cases.

And which of us said that? I was pretty clear that murder is always wrong, so where do you get this ridiculous claim that somehow atheists believe that murder. Let's look at some statistics:
1) Countries with the highest percentage of atheists or non-religious have the lowest percentage of murders, violent acts, wars, etc.
Epiphenom: Atheist nations are more peaceful
2) ~78% percent of high-security prison inmates in the U.S. consider themselves christian
Prison Incarceration and Religious Preference
3) Percent of christians who support death penalty (i.e. "sometimes acceptable"): between 62% and 74%.
Percent of atheists who support death penalty: 27%
RELIGIOUS VIEWS: Christians Concerned about Execution of Innocent People | Death Penalty Information Center
So this idea that atheists view murder as somehow "quasi-acceptable" is neither backed up by anyone on this board, or statistically represented as a majority one pitted against those who believe in god (Christianity, to be specific).
