Man up, dude. See ya there. You seem to be inferring these sickening human beings committed their crimes because of their atheism. What is clear is that the mass burning of heretics was very much a direct result of Catholicism. But I'm wasting my time, logical fallacies seem to be a second language for you.
Are you expecting the Spanish inquisition?

No...and to quote Bill Maher, 'I'm a little hurt by that.' But I never saw a concentration camp either and still denounce the inhumanity.

A monotheist with three gods, a major devil and minor demons, thousands of saints and millions of angels. I don't think even the Egyptians worshipped as many figures.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

And the Salem Witch Trials conducted by non-Catholics, etc.
Catholics didn't have a monopoly on the harsh treatment of heretics.

But Min, you have very strong opinions and are not afraid to express them. The only explanation is that you have been personally damaged by the very thing you hate.

If you want to know why Stalin the way he was towards religion he was justified in having those feelings.

Fall 1894
Stalin begins studies at Tiflis Theological Seminary in Georgia.

To know something is wrong one doesn't always need first-hand experience with it.

So do I.
Your anger seems a little too personal, so I thought I'd ask.
Are you equally outraged by the public school teachers who prey on our kids?
Or do you focus exclusively on Catholicism?

As I said before, the church is unique in having a policy of suppressing the evidence, shifting the accused and blaming the victims. That you cling to this herring is very revealing.
