If you read up on a lot of the old communist leadership, what drove their ruthless application of World Socialism in our lifetime was the fact that their life was a finite thing and they wanted to see results before they died.
I'm just not sure that I buy that organized religion is the sole forming reasons for these acts, and without a belief in god that these acts would decelerate.
I do have a a small belief that we might even see them on a larger scale.

Until I see atheist suicide bombers I will have to take the position this kind of stuff is religiously motivated.
And considering studies show less than 15% of individual suicides in north america are done by atheists I really have a hard time believing we would see a bigger scale.
