The "Stalin Was an Atheist" argument

[MJ the Skeptical]

I think the point these believers miss is that there's nothing ideologically motivating about Atheism that would make you kill someone. Stalin wasn't in his home one day and said you know what I'm going to kill and implement genocide based on my Atheism. Same goes for Pol Pot or Mao Zedong. There has to be a dogma or ideology behind it. I mean, how can you get from the negative position of the I don't believe you stance of Atheism, to using it as a motivating factor to genocide people, it doesn't correlate, at all, it's a retarded argument from pseudo-intellectuals.
