That would be none. But, to be honest with you, I'm not sure about the clown thing.
Seriously though, didn't you know the following:
Stalin- Led the Crusades
Mao- Burned people as witches
Kim Jong Il- Dresses up as a clown
Try reading the question next time.

Answer: 0
About the dress up as gay looking clowns, well I don't have the statistics.
BTW: About Hitler, well Hitler believes in the occult and a firm believer of a god, therefore he's no atheists, Stalin persecuted the priests not because of atheism but because the priests were loyal fans of the Romanov's.

You know, people throw the name 'Christian' around a lot, sometimes just to justify what they're doing. Whether it's right or wrong, if it doesn't line up with Christianity but has been marked so, it's just people ill-representing Christianity. So in short, yes, but they wouldn't have my back-up if it happened again. And the Bible says to forgive someone seventy times seven, which is a reference to the fact that we're supposed to forgive regardless.

As an Atheist/Agnostic I must say that even we have comitted atrocities, after all I must tell the truth, and I will not lie to glorify my beliefs. Nevertheless atrocities committed by the religious world do and almost always will number far greater then ours.

Atheists such as Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong have killed over 100 million. Far more then those killed by the crusades and witch burning combined.

Excellent points. Plus if something goes wrong they don't blame it on the devil. I believe that Athiests realize the human beings are responsible for all the good and ills that befal humanity instead of some fictional beings.

Did you not realise that in the Soviet Union (an atheistic government) over 90% of churches were destructed and over 90% of priests were murdered to try and eradicate religion?

Stalin did his best to kill every priest, monk, and nun in the Russian Orthodox Church. That is one more than you will likely not acknowledge.
