There are several things here that are untrue. First of all of course all of Stalin's murders weren't because of his atheism. However, in the Soviet Union, they murdered many christians: In Memory Of The 50 Million Victims Of The Orthodox Christian Holocaust  also: The War on Religion | Victims of Communism In general atheistic countries have done terrible things in the name of fighting religion:  Underground Christians fear China crackdown - CNN.com  Korean Reds Targeting Christians - The New York Sun  China sends Bible owners to labor camp Martyr killed by bulldozer becomes symbol of growing persecution of Christians in China | Fox News and it's not just communism that has done the persecution, during the french revolution France attempted to enforce atheism on the public: Chapter 7 Page 3 Charlie Hebdo and France’s Irreligious Tradition - The American Interest This does not mean atheism will always cause these type of problems, but it is human nature to take ideology to far. People would just find something else if it weren't for religion. Religion cannot stop human nature. Atheists should abandon that aurgument. BTW-I have more references then the article.
