Non-Religious Dictator and the lives they've took.
Joseph Stalin – 42,672,000
Mao Zedong – 37,828,000
Adolf Hitler – 20,946,000
Chiang Kai-shek – 10,214,000
Vladimir Lenin – 4,017,000
Hideki Tojo – 3,990,000
Pol Pot – 2,397,0003
And some pretty lame statement:
So screw Hitler I don't give a damn about Hitler if he was an atheist an christian an hypocrite I don't care let's move on I'm not here to debate that.
My question is: Can anyone tell me the name of a website or a list of pretty much every crazy nutjob that has killed in the name of religion? I'm talking about large masses of killing.
Or at least the dictators?
Or a name of massacres perhaps?
A number of casualties would be great.
I just want a list of data I'm not asking full a whole summary. I'm saying this because the last time I asked for a list of historical religious murderers a guy posted me a link of wikipedia about the crusades and said you are welcome.
You know I just want a sort of list of names that I can say: See! all these mothef*****s were all religious and they killed in the name of their lord.

Firstly, never let yourself get drawn into someone else's game. Don't let them force their rules upon you, if you want to expose this person's fallacy think outside the box. If you try and slug it out toe to toe no one wins, you just end up exhausted and frustrated.
It seems to me that their argument is predicated on one premise, that the fewer killings the more true the religion. OK, use this stupidity against your opponent, if this is the premise then by their own logic Buddhism (which has killed less people than any religion in the entire history of humankind due to their belief in reincarnation) is the one true religion.
Sorted.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
