stalin the communist had -
millions of people shot by secret police or other forces.
At least six-million killed in a government-induced famine.
An estimated eighteen-million sent to forced labor camps, where large numbers died of starvation, cold, disease, or overwork.
Hundreds of millions who lived their whole lives in fear.

What is the 'Pearl'? Never mind. I don't want to know. I'm not sure how Stalin killed anyone. Hitler was an equal opportunity user when it came to religion. He claimed to be Catholic in some speeches but practiced occult rituals and had his own psychic. Many thought he was into astrology but he signed contracts with the Pope.
Anyway, he was into torture, but considered them 'experiments'. He injected blue dye into ppl's heads Io turn their eyes blue and he would bind pregnant women's legs together when they were in labor. Not sure what he was trying to find out then, if anything.
He had plenty of ppl carry these out for him and I assume they were from different religious backgrounds so I'd say a person obviously has personality quirks not associated with their religion.

Stalin was usually more efficient than the Inquisitors.... they preferred a much more hands-on level of torturing innocent people.... sometimes mere numbers is not a sign of "greater evil"
Besides, there were multiple inquisitions.... And both the christians and the communists deluded themselves into thinking that killing innocents was for the greater good, be it "the party' or "the "true" religion's good, same crap , different wording..

Yeah, I remember learning in history class how Stalin killed and tortured millions who wouldn't convert to atheism, or were accused of atheist heresy.
Woah, I rolled my eyes too hard and got dizzy there for a second.
Stalin was a communist. Communism is what he tried to advance, not atheism. And like religion, communism is a nice-sounding philosphy built on false premises.

Very little information about that because most who were shipped off to Siberia were never heard from again.
"Stalin the atheist" is correct and accurate. Thank You.

Stalin was a devout catholic, not an atheist.
Communism was supposed to be an atheistic state. It was anything but.
Try reading history, instead of revising it.

People were shipped to the gulags and starved and worked to death, women prisoners would be routinely raped by the guards some women were so terribly starved and emaciated that their uterus would prolapse and turn inside out, still they were expected to work...this inhumanity was however under totalitarian Communism, not atheism.

Stalin the atheist? Was that his title? Is that like Peter the Great or Ivan the Terrible?

Electricity, pliers and unloaded revolvers held to a blindfolded head and dry fired, that sort of thing.
