While not highly religious, Hitler was a Catholic and did not make Atheism a state belief. "Gott Mitt Uns" remained the slogan of the Werhmacht and the Waffen SS.

The other two were monsters, but their actions had nothing to do with Atheism. The same way you can't blame slavery on Christianity per se, even though nearly all the slave owners were Christian.

Your statement is intended to be incendiary and incite religious bias and you should be ashamed.

If you're ever trying to figure out why people don't like Christians...it's comments like that.

People don’t like Christians because Christians accurately describe the horrors of non-religious and often explicitly atheist totalitarian ideology that caused massive carnage in the 20th century? How exceedingly odd.

Christians were also responsible for ending slavery. Not atheists.

And the civil rights movement. The Rev. MLK would love to chat with the haters in this thread.

Today? Right now? What are the statistics for Jewish and Christians religious attacks in the last ten years? What are the numbers of Christians that left Iraq or dissipated? I don't know, I am asking if anyone has these numbers for the last 10 years. People often forget that million of Slavs were in concentration camps, but their number doesn't reach anything close to the Jewish Holocaust. Are we also counting Stalin that killed over 25 million people, predominantly Orthodox and Jewish?

We are taking about all of history, which is much more than what someone like Stalin did.

Really? You're arguing Christians are responsible for the civil rights movement?

1. Please stop ignoring the critical role Jews played in serving as allies for Black Americans.

2. Educate yourself on the ways the KKK used Christianity to try to justify their actions.

There is no such thing as "Atheist" (anything) ideology.

Atheism is the lack of a belief in a religion. That's it. A lack of, as in, "don't have one".

All three of the guys you mention also didn't have beards. Why is it not blamed on "the horrors of non-bearded and often explicitly mustachioed totalitarian ideology"?

Makes about as much sense.

Omg, chill out. It was a response to the ridiculous PPs. Yes, Jews were important, too. But they were a small minority compared to the black Christian institutions.

Of course atheism is an ideology. As someone with a background in a Soviet history, I find your refusal to acknowledge the carnage caused by a God-denying ideology deeply offensive and ahistorical. I acknowledge that religious institutions have done horrible things. Grow up and acknowledge that atheistic ones have too.

^^^ Soviet history

Is this actually a thing? Are people fighting over the right to be most persecuted?
Did anyone read the article, have a background or a basic knowledge of statistics, or even how the numbers are made up

If you think Stalin and Mao did those horrible things because they did not believe in a god then you understand so little about history that you should avoid any discussion thereof.

You’re an idiot. Yes, Stalin and Mao persecuted religious groups because of their militant atheism. You’re an idiot and a historical revisionist. Shame on you.

Um, -1. How many books have you read about Stalin and Mao?! I’ve read dozens.

One example:

No they did not, you are completely wrong. As the poster above suggests, you should read a book. Also, you don't even understand atheism.

- Atheism is simply the lack of a belief in a god or gods.
- There are no tenets or dogma attached to atheism which would direct any action.
- Stalin and Mao's actions were about political control of the soviet system and they wanted to wrest control of the masses from the churches. It's a communist ideology, not an atheist one.

Got it?
