As an atheist and a rationalist, I condemn Karunanidhi and DMK. They are trying to hijack our atheist and rationalist beliefs in order to peddle their racial agenda. As atheists, we should be trying to reduce the amount of strife that comes from religion, and not to increase it. There were bad men in history like Stalin who destroyed churches and committed attrocities in the name of atheism, but he brought us a bad name. We should condemn such extremism done in the name of atheism. Karunanidhi is an admirer of Stalin, and so we should be suspicious of him. He is a racist in rationalist's clothing.
