If it is fair to say that had Osama Bin Laden not been Muslim he wouldn't have done what he did - I think it's fair to see that had Stalin dropped his denial of God then he would not have killed so many in the aim of ridding religion from Soviet Russia.

You see how it can motivate people. Believe me - atheism can and does!
This is idiotic, "I don't believe in god therefore I must kill people"? Go fuck yourself.
