This is the hight of hypocracy.
No Christans deny the Crusades.

The same could be said of the Spanish Inquisition then it was all politics.

The difference is they were atheist, but they didn't do it for atheism.
Is it that hard to grasp?
Atheism is not a belief system, therefore you can't fight for it. think about it "i'll kill you because god doesn't exist ", or "I'll kill you because there's not god to tell me to do so" it's absurd. See?
Essentially mao and stalin did it all for themselves, because there are not two similar atheists, therefore there's not a cause to follow nor to fight for.
On the other side you have people committing wars to "spread the belief of the true god" Do you understand?

final time I checked there have been no atheists heavily arguing to end freedom of religion. we could additionally factor out some incredibly poor theists who run international locations, distinctly in the midsection east. once you talk approximately those communists, you're talking approximately those with particular theories of government. Atheism is in basic terms the disbelief in a god, and not something greater. to illustrate, i'm an atheist and a libertarian, that's the furthest far off from a communist as one can get on the political scale. So i detect your attempt to lump me in with Stalin and Mao somewhat humorous.

Mao and Stalin were not inspired by atheism, but by their twisted ideas of totalitarian communism. Hitler was inspired by his totalitarian fascism, not by Christianity.
The Crusades were ordered by the Catholic church in the name of God to capture the Holy lands.
Quite a bit different don't you think?

Blaming atheism for the horrors that these dictators commited, is just as silly as blaming it on men.
They all three were men, so all men are bad.
They all three had two arms, so everybody with three arms are bad.
And I can go on all day. I don't blame men with moustaches that Hitler was a bad guy.
Nobody, ever, in the history of mankind has commited a crime for the sole reason of not believing in a god. And that is what atheism is: not believing in a god.

Why do some Christians insist upon confusing politics and ideology with belief or non-belief in a god?
Edit: And now your idiocy truly shines. The Spanish Inquistion was just politics?!

They don't deny. Flimsy propagandists lie and say they do. Their ideologies were Communist, not atheist. This is just flagrant lies.

They didn't kill people because they were atheists. They killed people because they were communist dictators.
HUGE difference.
