[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is so strange and odd that in spite of atheism/anti-theism’s outward rejection of religion and all its superstitions, atheistic governments feel compelled to set up cults of personality and worship of the State and its leaders that is so totalitarian that the leaders are not satisfied with mere outward obedience; rather they insist on total mind control and control of thoughts, ideas and beliefs. They institute Gulags and “re-education” centers to indoctrinate anyone who even would dare question any action or declaration of the “Dear Leader.” Even the Spanish Inquisition cannot compare to the ruthlessness and methodical efficiency of these programs conducted on so massive a scale.

Well there was the systematic murder of indigenous populations in the americas under the pretext of a divine mandate, and that killed far more people than the 6-9 million Stalin killed.

I think that has more to do with the type or government rather than what the official state line on religion. I mean, people in power are just evil sometimes and use any excuse to commit atrocities. [/quote]
