Sounds like an atheist to me.
And I couldn't find anything about Mao believing he was a God, though some people may have worshipped him as such. Have any sources for your claim that he thought of himself as God?
Not this sh*t again.
Yes Stalin was an atheist, WHOM convinced a MAJORITY of Russian Orthodox Christians to put him in power. Stalin's personal beliefs did not change whom he convinced to support him. Tyrants do not oppress only religion, they oppress any and all dissent. And again you don't know your history. When Stalin suspected that Hitler, WHOM also ruled over a German Christian majority, would double cross him and invade, Stalin relaxed his restrictions on the Russian Orthodox Christian Church to gain support in the fight against Hitler. The battle between Germany and Russia was still ultimately a battle between two Christian majority nations. Which both were prior to the rise of either, and religion never left under either's rule, and both are still Christian majority nations today.
And how many times do we have to post churches in Germany and Russia of that time? And how many times do we have to post pictures of those dictators being worshiped by Christians?
Dictatorships are not an atheist patent. Saudi Arabia and Iran are dictatorships too. And as I said in another thread Cuba is a Catholic majority.
Brian I'm not sure why you constantly raise objections to points or arguments I've never made.
I merely corrected someone who suggested Stalin wasn't an atheist. Full stop.
I made no connection between his atheism and the things he did, or communism, etc....
You gots to slow down a little, man.
