As an atheist, there are no circumstances in which I would kill another being in the name of my faith.
However, there may very well be circumstances in which I would kill another human being.
It wouldn't be in the pursuit of a cause, or some higher 'ideal', and it would be tragic, but if it was necessary to protect my family, people I care about, or innocent lives, I would do it.

None. Killing cannot be justified through religion. It is not a religious act. The only time I might WANT to kill another human being is if they did harm to my daughter but it would not be in the name of religion it would be in the name of a pissed off mother. Killing is not the answer for a person who has faith. I have Faith and I know that there is nothing worse then the wrath of my God when it comes to payback. So why put my soul at risk?

The only reason I would kill another human being for ANY reason, would be if I could not prevent them from killing another human being. I would never kill another human being in self defense; only in defense of another human being. My religion has nothing to do with it; though, it is a teaching of my religion.

I am an atheist. I wouldn't be loath to kill (though not personally) all the clergy from the past who used to kill innocent people "in the name of the holly cross"

I am a Christian and I hope I would never kill anyone. The only thing that might cause me to kill would be in defense of my family, but I hope I would be able to prevent their death without killing, even if it led to my death.

Never. It is not a religion to kill people. God doesn't want us to live this way and its illegal. Peopl in iraq think its what God wants but God doesn't want anyone to kill another humen being

Only if Almighty God came down from the sky and personally told me that He wanted me to kill someone.

That won't happen by my hand, I am not religious.
But I would kill another to
defend/protect:
A child
A woman
An old person
Any victim of another threatening their life
My life!
Have fun but be safe!
