Anonymous declares war on religion: hacks and defaces Christian websites, leaves atheist video by Richard Dawkins as a calling card, along with this message: “Religion Sucks LOL."
On Friday, hacktivists claiming to represent the international Internet hacktivist collective known as Anonymous hacked and defaced three Christian websites representing three different North Carolina churches.
IBT reports the homepages for Bethel Outreach International Church, Charlotte International Church, and Crossfire Ministries were all hacked and temporarily defaced on Friday - replaced with the 30-minute long YouTube video, "Richard Dawkins: An Atheist's Call to Arms," and an informal declaration of war, with the title, "religion sucks lol (laugh out loud)."
The Richard Dawkins video, "Richard Dawkins: An Atheist's Call to Arms,” is an inspiring 31-minute speech in which Dawkins urges fellow atheists not to hide their beliefs, and to aggressively fight the incursion of religion into politics and education.
Declaring religion a sickness, the Anonymous hacktivists left a message on the hacked and defaced websites declaring war on religion. The following is an excerpt from that declaration, as reported by WebProNews:
Greetings fellow pirates,
Let us be clear from the start: any kind of religion is a sickness to this world. A sickness that creates hate and intolerance, a sickness that brings people to wage war on their fellow people, a sickness that has come to this world long time ago, when mankind wasn’t educated, a sickness that brought false hope and suppression to those who believed and often even more terror and suppression to those who dared not to believe.
Religions are authoritarian hierarchies, designed to dominate your free will. Religions are mind control.They’re power structures that aim to convince you to give away your power for the benefit of those who enjoy dominating people. When you subscribe to a religion, you enroll in a mindless minion training program. Religions don’t market themselves as such, but this is essentially how they operate. In case you ever wondered why religious teachings are invariably mysterious, confusing, and incongruent? This is no accident — it’s intentional.
We see religion pretty much the same way as we see many governments. Fear mongering and making lots of money,so a small group of ppl will become insanely rich, while the believing masses can eat dirt...
So people of the world, don’t let religion control your life. Don’t fight against each other for contrary beliefs.This world and our life can be a wonderful adventure, where you have the unique chance to help mankind and your fellow citizens. Where we can all work together to make this earth a better place for ourselves,our children and all those generations who will come after us. ^(;,;)^
On Friday, @AnonymousIRC, one of the largest and most popular Anonymous related twitter accounts, with over 277,000 followers, tweeted a link to one of the hacked and defaced websites with the following message: "Hacked - Reason: religious idiocy and foh dah lulz."
