Are you aware that Hitler killed millions of Jews just because they were Jews?

How many were murdered by the NAZIs in WWII? I bet people didn't know that one either. They didn't kill only Jews.
Read up on Father Maximilian Kolbe, yes a Catholic Priest who is now Saint Maximilian Kolbe. A Catholic Priest who volunteered to be killed in the place of another while in a NAZI prison camp. There are others.
P.S. to The Arkady;
It was Protestants, not Catholics, who forced Native Americans into the churches and "Schools" they set up to "Civilize" the "Savages". In fact, there are many martyrs, Catholic Priests and nuns who were murdered by natives while trying to establish missions in the southwest. They eventually learned to co-exists.

Did you know that in the last 100 years more Christians have been martyred for their Faith in Jesus Christ than in all the rest of History combined. Today in N Korea and Saudi Arabia which lead the way they hunt down and kill and imprison Christians like they were murderers. Come quickly Lord Jesus Come quickly!!!

Well, considering that the Franco and the Fascists won their unlawful attempt to overthrow the legally-elected Socialist government, I'd guess that the Fascists (with their Nazi and Catholic supporters) probably killed a hell of a lot more people than the other side...

Yes.
Remind me again, what was the number of Native Americans that were murdered because they didn't?

Ah, I see a pattern emerging here.
After that, how many did Franco have executed for being atheist? Hmm? Come on, come on, answer your Uncle Corrosion.

Please cite. And who killed them, under what ideology? (Do you mean the Spanish Civil War and Franco's bombing of Guernica by Nazis? Not sure you chalk that up to atheism).
