I've seen this debunked in practically every book I read by authors like Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris. It's amazing that the religious still even bring this shit up. Name one dictatorship that used secular humanism as a foundational philosophy, right? But no, they'll still try to use atheism as a blanket accusation of that kind of immorality when it's either still entirely religious, or simply irrational in every other way. The intentional misunderstanding of atheism as a dictionary definition and as a worldview is long past being tiresome. But at least someone pretended, on a forum where others could see it, to do a retraction of their dogshit rhetoric.
Decades of the cold war created that meme. It is up to atheists to debunk it.
Godless commies and all that, yeah? It already has been debunked of course, but just like with every other inconvenient fact, theists will ignore it.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
