Atheism killed more people than all religion combined

[khatabhunter]

Atheism,

The Communist Regime—which was the world’s first atheist regime—led to between 85 million and 100 million deaths just in establishing itself across the USSR, China, Ethiopia and Yugoslavia. That makes any of the other numbers quoted here related to organised religion seem like peanuts.

However, the most astonishing (and sickening) fact about deaths under Communist atheism was the short amount of time over which that killing occurred—mostly in its first 3 to 4 decades of its existence, within a given country.

Thus, regardless of whether you believe Islam killed 2 million or 20 million (and either of those numbers are gross underestimates, given the 1500 year long Islamic Slave Trade and the Arab Conquest, neither of which kept records of the civilisations they annihilated), atheism is still the “winner” in terms of dishing out violent death—at least as far as we know.

Moreover, atheist killing did not end with the fall of the Iron Curtain or the demise of Chinese Communism. The legacy of Communism, even in China, before WTO, led to child trafficking, abject poverty, women-trafficking and prostitution (which led to untold deaths), as well as abortions in all these countries.

And, regardless of how you might feel politically about abortion, it is factual that abortion has negatively affected population growth throughout the former Iron Curtain—which makes abortion a material killer of the population, even to atheists and Pro-Choicers who might believe the unborn are not “lives”.

Abortion rates in Russia, in particular, were astounding until Putin’s official support of reviving the Orthodox Church and (with Abramovich’s help) Orthodox Judaism—both of which have actively and successfully reduced abortion among Christian and Jewish Russians. Before this, for example, there were (see Wikipedia links):

Around 5.6 million abortions (or about 5% of the population) in 1965
2.11 Million in 2001 (about 2 % of the population)
1.6 million in 2005
380,000 as of 2010 and now declining, but 380,000 was the world’s highest number and rate at the time
And all these numbers are just in the last 50 years. Before that, Russia became the first European country to legalise abortion in 1920, and in that first year over 4.2 million abortions occurred, with many being forced. Those numbers remained around 3 to 4 million EACH year, with 1965 being the peak year. At an average of 3.5 million abortions a year, that comes to over 280 million deaths between 1920 and 2001, not including the 2 million of 2001!

So, if you’re looking for a “religious” culprit to claim as history’s greatest ideological killer, look no further than the religion of non-belief!

How about people kill each other regardless of if they're religious or atheists?? No need to stir up controversy, we've got enough of that going around already.

agnosticism would be the logical choice.

You guys don't understand the point of religions. They're meant to give you hope and maintain social order. Living can be so cruel.

[Confluency]

So, If You’re Looking For A “Religious” Culprit To Claim As History’s Greatest Ideological Killer, Look No Further Than The Religion Of Non-Belief!

But they weren't killing because of their "non-beliefs" where as Christians, Islamists, etc have a history of killing because of their belief in their religion. Sounds like you're a brain-dead retard from terrorist land who has no idea what he's talking about.

Religion is goofy. Sure there may be a higher power, but I do not think everyone, nor anyone, is correct in their portrayal of such a power. Different religions have been around since the dawn of time, no way we can all be right.

Also, I certainly don't think following a prophet that was a pedophile is at all 'holy' or good in any way.

I expected more jew bashing out of you OP...

Stupidity has killed more than atheism combined.

E.G. op.
