I don't think that atheism dictates that you kill non-atheists (believe it or not its not just atheists who aren't dumb).
What Im saying is quite clear, Stalin's aim to convert people to atheism as a superior way of life would not have been done had he not thought it was a superior way of life. He killed people to destroy religion and carried out the most oppressive campaign against belief in God in history. He seemed to value atheism as beneficial to his cause (no?). Had he not viewed making his population atheist a good thing, I'm that kind of 'crazy' guy that would say he wouldn't have killed so many to spread it...
You might think atheism had nothing to do with his actions... I think it was a pretty important factor and denial of that clear and present fact is just dishonest.
