>I understand that much of the killing has been done in the name of some god or another. The god of athiesm has killed more than all others if I have my numbers coreect. Stalin, Pol Pot and all the others far outdid Herr Hitler.

What I don't understand, Doug, is why you keep insisting that everyone beleives in some kind of god ("god of atheism"). I'm going to be as straight as I can: I do not beleive there is a god. I have seen nothing that even suggests the existence of such an entity. I have no god. Am I clear enough?

And the main point I think you're missing, is that the killings that have been made by non-beleivers are not because the victims where not atheists, while the killings made in the name of a god were made/justified by saying that the targets where of the wrong religion. I see an enormous difference here! One "type" of killings were made for the personnal "profits" of indivual(s) while the other "type" was made for the "profits" of a religion.
