More Reichwing BS
Millions died in the name of atheism.
Bullcrap. Stalin wiped out anyone he perceived as a threat to his power, regardless of their religion. Those victims died in the name of Stalin, not "atheism". Same with Mao and the lunatics who followed him. These guys were totalitarian amoral nutjobs who used terror to build a cult of personality which secured their rule. Their crimes had diddly squat to do with atheism.
Atheism will do nothing to protect you from monsters like Stalin, but then neither will religion - just look at Hitler, or for that matter the democratically-elected fruitcakes in charge of Iran. I won't even bother to mention what a catastrophe the church sanctioned and supported governments of Europe were from the Dark Ages clear thru the Industrial Revolution. If that bunch of zealots had access to the kind of military technology Hitler and Stalin possessed, they probably would have exterminated all life on earth.
