I also started this thread because of my interest in some civil wars...
I read this article from a catholic web page.
an excerpt,
"Moreover, the Church's price for her support of Franco was that she have a moderating influence on Franco's men, which is what happened. War indeed brings out the worst in men, and thank God the Church was able to reign in those elements to the best of her ability. By contrast, reading the correspondence of Communist operatives in Spain leaves no room for doubt that their agenda was one of pure and total "liquidation," as they so antiseptically referred to murder"
In other words, in equal circumstances Christians/Catholics are better than atheists, because Christians/Catholics have moral compass.
The Catholic article about bad atheists and Catholic martyrs is here:

(it can make you feel ashamed of being an atheist
