Their atheism had the same amount of influence over their killings than their facial hair did. It was not done in the name of atheism. On the other hand all those people killed in the bible were killed because god said so. They were killed in the name of god. And have you ever heard of the crusades? Maybe you wanna look those up. What about the witches being killed in africa right now. Do some research you dumb fuck.
Joseph Stalin killed over 20 million people
Mao Zedong killed 45 million...
Pol Pot killed around 1.7 million.

What the fuck is this bullshit?
