@Napolean I am not going to respond to your entire post but I will address a few main points.
First this is what I replied to...

...where in this message did you get the idea that it was saying "everyone had injustices to them". It CLEARLY singles out atheists. You are just making a strawman.
Second, here is what genkaus said...
This is what I said...
Do you see the resemblance (apparently not)? All he did was repeat my statement and dress up the part about atheists. That still does not answer my question about "killing in the name of Christianity". You claim that it is political reasons and not their lack of belief in God for atheists that leads them to do evil things (oh and you had to put emphasis on it being just "certain" atheist ie no true Scotsman) but Christians (no emphasis on "certain" or "just some" more like insinuating "all") are just following a book when they do evil things that just happened to result in them having political power (coincidence I guess). Apparently only atheist can have political reasons...

Certain atheists do wrong because of the political philosophy they espouse tells them to. Thus, they are not doing wrong in their capacity as atheists but their capacity as communists, fascists etc. What is to be considered the cause of their wrong-doing is determined by what they use to justify it. Catholic church used Christianity to justify their actions, but Pol Pot and Mao did not use their atheism as justification.
