On Christianity moral values have their objective and universal basis in the immutable nature of God.

Leftists tend to denounce objective morality, or indeed any form of absolutes, as evil and compare the concept to the totalitarianism to the Nazis (when in reality the Nazis did not adhere to objective morality), and even tended to denounce anyone who adheres to objective morality as being insane and childish, with the implication that reality is always gray.

For example, atheists have been the biggest mass murderers in history (see: [[Atheism and mass murder]]). Dr. R. J. Rummel's mid estimate regarding the loss of life due to atheistic [[communism]] is that communism caused the death of approximately 110,286,000 people between 1917 and 1987.<ref>Rummel, R. J. (November 1993). [http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/COM.ART.HTM "How many did communist regimes murder?"] University of Hawaii website; Freedom, Democracy, Peace; Power, Democide, and War.
