And yeah, I'd classify the Crusades as a series of wars. Atrocities alomst always happen in war, not that is is right, but it happens (including some modern day ones by us). The crusades were not unlike the Mongol invasions or Viking pillages, but I doubt too many people would hold it against modern Mongolians or Scandinavians.

Add the Crusades in there......
All I'm saying here is that atheism doesn't drive people to 'kill.' Because many more have been killed in the name of religion.
