1. Atheists, why is it that you blame us for countless murders and the slaughter of innocent people when, 2. if you look at Atheist regimes, ( AKA Communist regimes; i.e Mao Tse Tung, Kim Jung Il, Stalin, Lenin, Fidel Castro, etc,. etc. ) and you find that for each dictator, the killing and the body count starts in the millions for each dictator within a near few years?

I'm no Atheist, but I'd like to dabble with this question.

1. It's not a matter or "blame", it's a matter of history. The countless murders and slaughter of innocent people hold a tremendous role in history of Western religion.

2. As for communist regimes, I will be strictly speaking from a Vietnamese Nationalist perspective. As much as I hate communist Vietnam, it does not hunt down the pious nor burn church and temple goers at the stake. It does not slaughter those with spiritual convictions in the name of communisim. Actually, I believe there was a short period where they kill off a few religious occult leaders and regional religions that opposed them openly, but mass murder on the same level as Western religions, no, I haven't come across that.

I not sure where you're going with this. Those leaders that you mentioned, did they kill millions of people because people have a religion, or did they kill for political power? In my opinion, these Aetheists leaders would kill for political no matter if the people had a religion or not, the same way that any Christian or Pagan king would for power.

I don't think the case is comparable.
