So the fact the vast majority of Russians have been religious, even during communist rule have nothing to say to this? I mean can't we see the obvious, an crazy dictator did crazy things in the name of crazy. Unless you suggest he only did those things because he didn't believe in a god(s).

Also, atheists by definition do not believe in the after life. Thus, they rely on a view of morality to keep people in line. Many people throughout history have used an atheistic and nihilistic view to justify their own crimes.

So what holds back the many non murdering religious folk is their fear of God to keep them in line?
