Quote:Under Communism, religion was a threat to the dominance of the state. So they eliminated it. If killing people to stamp out religion isn't atheist...well, I don't know what is.Killing people to stamp out religion isn't 'atheist' no. Atheism is one thing and one thing ONLY! The lack of belief in a god or gods. Without theism. The absence of belief. Stalin was removing any threat to his dictatorship. Atheist or theist.
Also remember, many atheists were killed too. So how is it connected to atheism?
You can't name any event where people are killed in the name of atheism or if you will - the name of lack of theism. It's never happened. Religion on the other hand, we've got thousands of events committed in the name of religion/god.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
