mLine 70:
Line 70: − − − Once again dishonesty by people only trying to lie to people. Stalin was raised an Orthodox Catholic and never once killed someone because "god does not exist" he killed people because he wanted the government to be the only god. − There is no disassociation because both Pot and Stalin were killing to make their personal power greater. When the Crusades and Inquisition happened it was directly due to the beliefs held by the adherents of the religion. Besides, you would need to conclusively prove that their non-belief in leprechauns was not what drove them to killing.

Whilst atheism didn't directly ''cause'' these atrocities, because athiesm provides no moral boundaries, it ''allows'' these atrocities to occur.

{{QuoteBox|...atheism has been tried as a basis for life in many countries in the 20th century. The results have been some of the biggest bloodbaths of all time under communist despots above the law, e.g., Stalin, Mao and [[Pol Pot]]. For example, the Inquisition killed 2000 people in three centuries; Stalin killed that many before breakfast.<ref>Sarfati, 2004 & 2008. See also Morris.</ref>}}
