Funny how athiests who always blame religion for war/persecution/ect conveniently ALWAYS forget about the very athiest Soviet Union. It's absolutely sickening.
But hey, it's ok if athiests persecute religion, right? It must be religion's fault anyway, right?
I can acknowledge Aetheists aren't perfect. (In this case very, very far from perfect.)
They were merely Aethiestic in order to secure their power. The suppressed EVERYTHING that went against them. Aetheists included if they were going against what they said was right. Why didn't you bring up Hitler either? He didn't just kill Jews, but he brought down many religions. Jews were obviously the majority of it though.
So I have to say there are exceptions to things like this, but why not look at it as a whole? There were a lot more conflicts started OVER religion then AGAINST it.
