Now, earlier, I noted that atheism has been the worst thing ever for humanity, since more people have been killed under atheist regimes than any other kind in the history of the world.

I asked quite civilly, and more than once, for the name of an atheist regime which can be seen as successful and which treated its own people well.

A deafening silence was heard.



The argument was put forward that somehow Hitler, Stalin and Mao did not head atheist regimes.   Stalin and Mao committed their atrocities in the name of a Communist ideology which was explicitly atheistic. This ideology posited a religion-free utopia.

As for Hitler:   "by their fruits ye shall know them".   Anybody who does not realize that Hitler exploited everything and everybody to his own ends needs to read a bit more.    So Hitler was raised Catholic? Stalin was raised Orthodox Christian and Mao as a Buddhist.

Na und?

Anybody who still believes that Hitler's regime was Christian is invited particularly to research the term "Gleichschaltung".   Then come back and the class will discuss.
