He didn't dipshit. He committed them because people opposed communism not your silly fucking god.
Granted that's a shitty reason too but it doesn't absolve all you jesus fuckers for your murders.
And, of course, it's not "all of a sudden". People who can read have known Stalin's motivations for a good long while now.

I've got jokes for this. Okay, okay, wait. What's the difference between a person who can't read, and a person who can..but doesn't?
Nothing.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

He didn't .Because you can't commit atrocities because of atheism any more then you can go eat ice cream and fap because of atheism . The link between not accepting god's existence and killing people is not their .

Depends on whether or not you are seeking efficiency or maximum pain infliction. MPI reminds me too much of the fucking tyrant god of the bible so I'll go with efficiency.

You CAN indeed commit atrocities in the name of atheism, 'state-atheism' is not a neutral position like you guys seem to think it is, THAT's secularism...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_atheism
Quote:State atheism, according to Oxford University Press's A Dictionary of Atheism, "is the name given to the incorporation of positive atheism or non-theism into political regimes, particularly associated with Soviet systems." In contrast, a secular state purports to be officially neutral in matters of religion, supporting neither religion nor irreligion. State atheism may refer to a government's anti-clericalism, which opposes religious institutional power and influence in all aspects of public and political life, including the involvement of religion in the everyday life of the citizen.
The majority of Marxist–Leninist states followed similar policies from 1917. The Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (1917–1991), and the Soviet Union (1922–1991) more broadly, had a long history of state atheism, whereby those seeking social success generally had to profess atheism and to stay away from houses of worship; this trend became especially militant during the middle Stalinist era from 1929 to 1939. The Soviet Union attempted to suppress public religious expression over wide areas of its influence, including places such as central Asia

You can't commit and act for atheism or because of atheism .You can only commit an act in this regard because of yourself . I'll repeat it their is no conceivable way to get from i don't accept the existence of god to atrocities . End of story .
The Atheist Atrocities fallacy will always be just that a fallacy

Surely, Huggy, even you can see that is a long way from burning people at the stake.
Or maybe not. You have god shit in your eyes.
