Would you rather live under an oppressive religious or securlar government?

[Brian37]

With secular governments, they have resorted to wiping out whole villages in their nations to achieve the same level of fear and control...

Saddam Huesan resorted to measures such as that and he was Muslim.
As with people such as Stalin, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong Il; they had only taken god out of their countries because they wanted to replace him.

That is the part that theists miss. It isn't godlessness that makes fascism, it is blind loyalty of state or god that does. It takes worship in both cases to create fascism.
