Who'd have thought?!
Bravo good sir! Bravo! 
Now get bent, because atheism is the lack of belief in a god and therefore not a religion you silly twat!
Actually, it can defined as a religion per the definition of religion being "a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance." I'm pretty sure killing the most people in history easily fits that bill.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Honestly lad, how many times do we have to prove to you that atheism had nothing at all to do with the actions of Stalin, Pol Pot and all the others.
Yet you still keep spewing out this tired old bullshit like some feeble minded Tourette's sufferer.
For fucks sake man, come up with a new one.

Crusades- 1,000,000-3,000,000
French Wars of Religion- 2,000,000-4,000,000
Not to mention the untold terror of the Inquisition.
You really wanna go down that road hombre?

Well atheists, or at least state-sponsored atheism (which is why I labeled it as somewhat of state-sponsored religion), prematurely killed 110 million people in the 20th century.

Give me one fucking example of when it was actually done in the name of atheism.

LOL. Name of atheism...such a blatant logical fallacy. Like Christians and their true Christian mumbo jumbo.

Please tell us EXACTLY when they became "people".

Displaying that you don't know what logical fallacies are isn't an argument.
Your claim is that atheism is responsible for more deaths in human history than blah blah blah, and in that case, asking when such deaths were made in the name of atheism is entirely warranted. You can't blame a concept as a motivating factor for a crime when the motivating factor for the crime wasn't that concept, Polaris.
I wish you'd just admitted that you didn't have any evidence of your position before making me do this and showing yourself up as an intractable individual.
