The following scripture puts a end to what happens to captive women by Israel army in bible times. They are not raped as you alleged.
Deuteronomy 21 10-13.
10. When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
11. And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
12. Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
13. And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.

I know of no example in the old or new testament where 3 or 4 year olds were married. It doesn’t exist.
Since the expression “take a wife” was in Scripture it could not very well be repudiated, but Jewish leaders made it clear that brides could not be bought and that marriage required the consent of the woman herself as well as that of her father. Girls typically married at age 12 or 13, immediately after puberty, so one might be excused for wondering what chance they had of developing an informed opinion beyond that of their fathers.

The minimum age for marriage under Jewish law is 13 for boys, 12 for girls; however, the kiddushin can take place before that, and often did in medieval times. The Talmud recommends that a man marry at age 18, or somewhere between 16 and 24.
In all cases, the Talmud specifies that a woman can be acquired only with her consent, and not without it (Kiddushin 2a-b).

Also, under Judaism, boys could marry or make religious vows at 14-years-old and girls at 12-years-old, both only with parental permission, which parental permission was required until both boys or girls were 21-years-old ("Adult Age," McClintock and Strong Encyclopaedia).

Child marriage
In Ashkenazi communities in the Middle Ages, girls were married off very young(12 1/2) because then they would be able to have children in the Jewish community.[80] Some of the rabbis in the Talmud were in favor of having boys marry as soon as they reached the age of majority ( before 20).[6] Those unmarried after the age of twenty were considered cursed by God.[81] Torah study was viewed as a valid reason for delaying marriage, but lifelong celibacy was discouraged.[82] Despite the young threshold for marriage, a large age gap between the spouses was opposed.[83][84] In modern times, child marriage is extremely rare in the Jewish community; it is banned by law in most countries.

Delusion is believing a secular world would be a non violent world. Many of conflict occurred over land and border issues not religion.
Another delusion is this statement you made:
“If delusion was not masked by religious beliefs getting a free pass, then we could find those who are delusional and still maintain freedom and liberty.”
I’m not even sure you know what the hell you are saying.

<quoted text>It's not rape if the god allows it.
Rape is taking something from a woman, and biblically woman has nothing. She is property, she is merely a carrier for the receptacle, which is some man's alternative to spilling seed on the ground. The seed receptacle keeps him from sinning and may even be given to the neighbor to use in the streets, depending on the whims of the god. This is of course a punishment for the man, not her. She is not touched, only that bit between her legs, which belongs to one of three men. Unauthorized use of her seed receptacle is a crime against her father, fiance, or her husband.
That's not rape, because she has lost nothing.

No one can have enough faith to trust that there is no God. I mean, the evidence of their being a God is overwhelming. That's why atheists are so frantic and NEED forums like this to pacify their extensive worries off on other atheists who lie to them daily to ease their uncomfortable concerns that they are wrong.
Sharing lies with each other is a tool of denial and should be considered cruel and unethical to one's self and to all involved in the lying. A person should be true to themself, and shew away liars like atheists are.
Plus, if they got the proof they keep asking for, they would still blaspheme God and never obey Him. It's a pointless issue. They are just inherently monsters of deception.

There's NOTHING like a well-informed zealoted bigot in Hell burning.
This is why you will have that extra, extra stupid feeling of shame, disgrace, and embarrassment when you are burning in Hell.
You'll have all that immense knowledge of the bible swirling around in your thick, hateful noggin , especially the parts where it spoke of you going to Hell for not believing in and honoring God, to ponder on as you wallow around in fire , being tortured for eternity as punishment for your rebellion, scoffing, persecuting lifestyle.
You are the moron of the day.

A militant atheist is trying to get you to stop wasting your life and stop harming other people because of your delusion.

No, of course you used a truly vile fallacy in this, the assumption of meaning. I did not say it would be a non-violent world, only that by bringing delusion out of the mask of religion we would be able to reduce violence caused by it.
Delusion is the inability to separate fiction and reality, since the god is not proven beyond a reasonable doubt, it is fiction, therefore believing the god is real is delusion by definition. There is no escaping it, theism is a delusion, people who believe in a being that is not demonstrably real is confusing fiction for reality. Wanting to help those delusional people is sanity and empathy.

Are you being funny? They are exactly the same species, of course they are related, they can interbreed. They are closely related.
In fact all life on earth is "related", though perhaps not as closely. We all came from the same single celled ancestor billions of years ago. All living things are our cousins. Deal with it.
