Deadliest religion ever?

[Edwardo Piet]

Maybe I am just being pedantic here, but I really don't see how a religion can be deadly. That's like saying atheism is deadly due to the high body count of dictators like Stalin and Mao.

It's nothing like saying that.

Atheism has no creed, no beliefs... The key difference is when atheists kill people it never has anything to do with not believing in gods... It's for completely unrelated reasons and theists can kill for those reasons too... But there's stuff in the Bible and Koran that if taken literally and believed by extremists are reasons to be violent. When an atheist kills someone it has nothing to do with atheism but when Christain extremists bomb abortion clinics and when Muslim extremists blow themselves up shouting "Alah!" that has everything to do with religion.

The difference is that there's no such thing as extremist atheism.
