Are you saying that murdering millions of people for the Communist political ideology was OK because Communism isn't a religion with a deity?
Correct. "Religion" requires a "god(s)." It's a sine qua non. When you can point out communism's "god" then we can talk about it.
Is it "OK?" Depends on one's p-o-v I guess. I would say "no." But Stalin thought otherwise and he was there and I wasn't. To be fair to Stalin, though, his education was at the hands of the orthodox church so maybe that explains why he was such a cocksucker?
