Is it true that atheism has killed more people then organized religion?...

I completely agree chasm, religious beliefs have been the cause of much bloodshed and this continues to be so even in today's modern age. Christianity particularly has a good track record of murder and mayhem but this applies to religious beliefs in general. And some of those killings were of completely innocent people who were killed because of the superstitions of the bible, such as the witch hunts where people were being murdered for so called being in league with the Devil. Atheism is not a religion so I don't see how it can kill anyone, the lack of a belief in a god does not mean that we are immoral murderers etc. I feel that most of the claims that Christians make against atheism are completely false and baseless.
