Randman, yet again you are spewing nonsense.
The fact of the matter is more people have been killed in the name of atheism (communism) than anything else?
This is an idiotic statement. Not all atheists are communists and not all communists are atheists (although most probably are). The two are not the same.
Further, the secular nature of communist government is irrelevannt to the atrocities commited. They were committed to assert secular control. The communist dictatorships choose to be atheist because they wanted all the misplaced loyalty people showed towards their particular mythology to be directed instead towards the state.
Finally, exactly how do massacres and atrocoties commited by communist regimes (which, as I explained above, have nothing to do with atheism but rather just happened to be atheist) excuse the centurys of pain, anguish and death perpetrated by religion and in it's name? I presume you are an adult, Randman, in spite of some of your opinions. Would you, when confronted with your wrong doings point at someone else and say they did it too? Do you think such an action is really any defense? It isn't, in case you didn't know.
