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.

According to your link (which inludes the crusades), the numbers are no where near a couple of million. Also consider that region under Orthodoxy also participated.

I get your point though, religon has often been used as fuel for killing... as has ideology in general. I just saw "Catholic killed a couple of million people", and took exception to that specific statement... but not the overall point.
