Religion is a catch-all for beliefs, ideology, etc, and it is religion. The fight is your sky God versus my sky God. Meanwhile, it's the same fucking God.

Name a mass genocide / terrorist attack committed by atheists. And I'm talking about groups, not some neckbeard from Reddit who decided to shoot up a school.

I'll wait.

Stalin wasn't religious and actively tried to stamp out religion.

He killed what, 6+ million people?

I think you are confusing him with the other moustached man of WW2

Stalin "only" killed 1.2 million at the high estimate. He killed people because they were in opposition rather than a certain race like Hitler.

No Stalin was an athiest and he caused mass genocide.

Google says it could be 20+ million. Anyways, how many he killed isn't the point.

He killed people because they were in opposition

Yeah he killed them for non-religious reasons. Religion didn't play a part in the mass genocide.
