So you are taking a few key people who happened to be atheist (rather than killing for the sake of atheism) and have now used them to brand all atheists as potential mass murderers. You have also used the "No True Scotsman" fallacy in order to dismiss Christians and other religious folk who have committed murder in the name of the faith. Shouldn't it be the other way around, since generally atheists don't kill people for being religious, but rather because they are political opponents and Christians often kill because people aren't Christians?

::I'm an atheist myself. Despite that, I agree with you: it wasn't just the leaders that killed, it was the entire state apparatus more often than not employing numerous other atheists. Therefore, even on average, atheists have been more mass-murderous than theists. [[User:Twerkyourpussy|Twerkyourpussy]] ([[User talk:Twerkyourpussy|talk]]) 11:20, 4 March 2017 (EST)
