An intellectual and writer who was hacked to death in Dhaka had been begged by his wife not to return to Bangladesh for a literary festival.

Avajit Roy, 42, and his wife Rafida Ahmed Bonya, 35, were ambushed and dragged from their rickshaw on Thursday night after attending the festival. After the attack, Mr Roy died on the pavement while his wife, who lost a finger, pleaded to passers-by for help. Two large machetes were found at the scene.

Mr Roy, who championed secularism and humanism on his Mukto-Mona blog, was an engineer by training. He wrote 10 books, of which the most famous is Virus of Faith, a critique of religious fundamentalism. He had returned to Bangladesh from America to promote his new work.

I'm left to wonder, if these "Gods" are so powerful, and these religions are the truth, then why are the faithful so afraid of Atheists?

Isn't your God, your Allah, or whatnot, strong enough to handle a few non-believers?

It's a finding of history, the less the "faithful" truly believe, the more noise they make, trying so hard to convince themselves.
