How much blood lies on the hands of atheists.?

Answer 1

Non religious wars:

WW I Deaths - More than nine million soldiers died and millions of civilians perished

WW II Deaths - 60 million people, making it the deadliest conflict in human history

Vietnam - The war claimed 58,000 U.S. combat dead and the lives of between 2 and 5.7 million Vietnamese

Korean War - From official Chinese sources, PVA casualties during the Korean War breaks down as follows: 114,000 killed in action; 380,000 total wounded in action; 21,000 died of wounds; 13,000 died of sickness; and 21,400 POW.[13] Mao Zedong’s only healthy son, Mao Anying, was also killed as a PVA officer during the war.

600,000 Korean soldiers died in the conflict, according to U.S. estimates. About one million South Koreans were killed, 85 percent of them civilians. According to figures published in the Soviet Union, 11.1 percent of the total population of North Korea died, around 1.13 million people were killed. The total casualties were about 2.5 million. More than 80 percent of the industrial and public facilities and transportation infrastructure, three-quarters of all government buildings, and half of all housing was destroyed.

There has been some confusion over the previously reported number of 54,589 Korean War deaths. In 1993 this number was divided by the Defense Department into 33,686 battle deaths, 2,830 non-battle deaths, and 17,730 deaths of Defense Department personnel outside the Korean theatre.[39] There were also 8,142 U.S. personnel listed as Missing In Action (MIA) during the war. U.S. casualties in the war are fewer than in the Viet Nam War, but they occurred over three years as opposed to 15 years (1960-1975) in Vietnam.

What religious wars throughout history have claimed as many lives?

I have a feeling there is more blood on the hands of an atheist than they are willing to admit...we live in a fallen world. EVERYONE sins by transgressing God's law.

Interesting fact/statistic: 10/10 people will die.

If an atheist believes in natural selection and evolution then why do they help other's? Wouldn't that go against the idea of survival of the fittest?

Answer 2

Some, but far less than the amount of blood that lies on the hands of Christians.

Answer 3

Don't play the numbers game- if you add up the victims of the Conquistadors (who commited virtual genocide) and crusades not to mention the inquisition it shows Christianity has caused far more deaths than secular political leaders.

Answer 4

Less than the amount that lies on the hands of theists. Much less.

Answer 5

Some, for sure.

The difference is, there were no mass murders or anything like that ever performed in the name of atheism. At least not to my knowledge.

There have been plenty of mass murders performed in the name of god.

Answer 6

Some much not as much as religious people because we don't go killing each other over who has the better imaginary friend.

Answer 7

?

Is this even a serious question?
Even the bible says,"Let he who is not guilty of THIS SIN cast the first stone."
And christians as a group have the single bloodiest history known to man.

but to answer your question... no none that I can think of.

Answer 8

Well, I still have a little goat blood under my fingernails.

Answer 9

As much as I love my religion, I know Christianity has cause more wars than any other religion on the planet.

Atheists... don't have wars, come to think of it...

Answer 10

Only the Father knows.
