YES, but no. The bible says it's ok, so it's not wrong according to the bible.
Mao and Stalin didn't murder in the name of atheism. They killed political opponents and anyone they didn't like. You won't find atheists flying planes into buildings or blowing up buildings as a revenge for Waco.
Atheism is just a lack of belief, it doesn't have a wackjob doctrine that commands rape and torture.
Are you devoid of using a dictionary, we are NOT a religion like you. We just do NOT believe. Well the Catholic church must have did those things because God told them to. You mean to tell me that God commanded me to rape and torture people. Aw shucks...hide yo kids...hide yo wife...
Nah, my missus would kick your ass, and my eldest would bitchslap you back to the Baptist Church.

YES! Yes he did. Please read your Bible or see a history book.

I've told you this about a thousand times before, Arch. "Keep your bullshit in your homes and churches and you'll have no problem from me."
There is no reason for non-xtians to be subjected to your fucking bullshit everytime they walk into a public place. Are you so insecure that you cannot bear for a moment to be away from the sight of your silly-assed religion?

See you're doing too. Our friend Tempus used that argument to belittle Christian charitable works. Christians represent a larger % of the population in correlation to atheist therefore they should have more charitable works. Why doesn't this apply to your "per capita" argument about crimes. Atheists represent a smaller % of the population in correlation to Christians therefore they should commit less crimes. It goes both ways.
Ah, but it does. Atheist make up 10% of the U.S population. They commit only 2% of crimes. We are winning per capita.

@Napolean I am not going to respond to your entire post but I will address a few main points.
First this is what I replied to...
...where in this message did you get the idea that it was saying "everyone had injustices to them". It CLEARLY singles out atheists. You are just making a strawman.
Second, here is what genkaus said...

Certain atheists do wrong because of the political philosophy they espouse tells them to. Thus, they are not doing wrong in their capacity as atheists but their capacity as communists, fascists etc. What is to be considered the cause of their wrong-doing is determined by what they use to justify it. Catholic church used Christianity to justify their actions, but Pol Pot and Mao did not use their atheism as justification.
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you see the resemblance (apparently not)? All he did was repeat my statement and dress up the part about atheists. That still does not answer my question about "killing in the name of Christianity". You claim that it is political reasons and not their lack of belief in God for atheists that leads them to do evil things (oh and you had to put emphasis on it being just "certain" atheist ie no true Scotsman) but Christians (no emphasis on "certain" or "just some" more like insinuating "all") are just following a book when they do evil things that just happened to result in them having political power (coincidence I guess). Apparently only atheist can have political reasons...

The word intolerance gets thrown around a lot. I personally think that many atheists are intolerant of Christians. But what fundie morons seem to miss is that there is a marked difference between being intolerant of people for holding different beliefs or having a different skin color, and being intolerant of people because they are are batshit insane, psychopathic worshippers of a mass murderer who commands the destruction of every group he doesn't like.
If I were to protest black people, I would be a bigoted dick because black people are mentally no different than white people. The only difference is skin color. Both black people and white people are typically moral, and not psychopathic murderers. They don't as a rule promote intolerance and hatred.
If I were to protest, say, Agnostics, I would be a bigoted dick, because agnosticism, like black skin, does not result in mass murder and bigotry. There is a difference between being intolerant of a non-harmful belief or physical trait, and being intolerant of a proven-negative one. Nazism is a world view. If I protest Nazism, then I am technically intolerant. Of Nazis. That is not a negative thing.
And when I protest Christians? Christians, who have not only proven time and again throughout history that they will try to exterminate peaceful opposing groups, but who also continue witch hunts and murder in Africa to this day? Christians, who by DEFINITION listen to a book that tells them to kill homosexuals and nonbelievers, which states that women are property?
When I protest Christians, I'm doing the world a service. I'm intolerant of Christians, yes. For the same reason I'm intolerant of Nazis. That is not a negative thing.
