Evidence? Citation?
When Churchill first came into office in 1940, he immediately welcomed the escalating conflict between Hindus and Muslims, saying he hoped it would be "Bitter and bloody" - Myers, Kevin (6 August 2010). "Seventy years on and the soundtrack to the summer of 1940 is filling Britain's airwaves". The Irish Independent.
During the great Bangel famine of 1943, Churchill refused to allow any relief efforts including release of surplus shipping capacity to ferry relief food supplies offered by the United States. When the dire situation of 4 million femine death was represented to Churchill, he replied "why hasn't Gandhi died yet?"
Churchill's attitude towards Indian was so racist in a racist era that his own secretary labeled him "unbalanced and unhinged" in his hatred of Indians.

Smallpox - rough estimate 500 million in the past few hundred years.
Therefore, if you believe in it, God killed more people.
All people who ever lived died. Therefore god killed everyone that ever lived.
Atheists missed the vast majority. God wins.
