Here is my proof, it's called a dictionary. Do I need to define for you "in the name of"? Mao's justification was Communism. The people believed in Communism, even if Mao did or did not. They died as a result of Mao pursuing, no matter how incorrectly, Communism. Communism came out of his mouth, Communism was what was in his head, Communism made him break an alliance with the Soviets because they were being bad Communists. Now, with regard to Science and Religion. Religion gave people an incentive to be literate. Do you honestly believe that if the Germanic barbarians had remained Pagan, kept their oral tradition that we would have been any better? Ever hear of Cyrillic? The writing system of almost all of Eastern Europe? Made by a priest. A lingua franca for all scientists in Europe? Thank a Catholic Priest for making Latin universal. Printing press? Thank a protestant.

For a lot of other fine results, we look to the Irish monks.
