Or do you follow the tired argument of atheism > communism > mass murder because of atheism?
I still think Lenin/Stalin did evil things was because of their lack of faith in the Flying Spaghetti Monster; hopefully a lesson learned by all of humanity today. All hail FSM!

But you can't have it both way, Pol Pot, Mao, The two Kims, Stalin all believed in one lifespan with no repercussions, they had no faith and they were monsters. They believed that they controlled the natural order of things revolved around them. So if your going argue that people who believe in god or religion are these monsters and mass murderers then you also have to accept that these god less men are truly monsters.
It wasn't communist theory that lead to these murders, communism is an economic system. It was these people and their own belief systems that lead to the killings.
