Maybe it's beside the point, but when hearing these claims my first reaction is usually -
1.So you're saying religion makes better dictators? Even if that were true, you know what - how about not having dictators.
2. Support for Stalin and Hitler came from peoples who were trained for centuries by religion to accept leaders, messianic prophesies and dogma without questioning. That's one important reason why itvworked so nicely.
