Quote:Hundreds of millions of people died under explicitly atheist regimes during the 20th century. If you think there is no evidence for that, I suggest you visit some mass graves some time.
Hitchens makes a pretty compelling case that the so-called 'atheist regimes' are functionally no different than theocracies. This is particularly true in societies like Stalinist Russia and the current nightmare than is North Korea. They simply use a political figure in place of a divine one and oppressive bureaucracies in place of a traditional church. A 'cult of personality' is still a cult.
