We've covered this with you many times now Boerd. Communism, Mao, Stalin etc. were never done in the name of atheism. They were simply assholes who wanted power, never did the go "In the name of there being no god!" or anything like that. Hell those examples are actually very religious by nature, setting someone in charge and forcing everyone to essentially worship them, treat their word as law and giving them unlimited power.

Communism is inherently atheistic, though atheism is not inherently communist (objectivism is atheist and basically the opposite of Marxism). However, what Communism does reflect two things:

1. We don't need religion to create dictatorships or worship people.

2. Atheists who believe that religion is detrimental to human progress sometimes commit the same crimes associated with religious extremists.
