"So, the argument stating atheists kill and religion doesn't is pure shit."
My OP made no mention of that. The savagery of man molests and kills, not religion or atheism. It would be an easier task, teaching the blind to see, or the deaf to hear, than teach you to comprehend what you read. Keep your dunce hat on, sit in the corner, and STFU, before everyone realizes you are an idiot.
BTW, I call the one in a hundred million right winger, that bombs an abortion clinic, a rogue murdering lunatic.
Although some of his words can be construed both ways, it must be remembered that in the early years he was a politician trying to win elections and gain support, so they have to be looked on with a grain of salt. Likewise, the fact that he was born Catholic is irrelevant. Everyone listed above was born into a religion.
The most telling thing is perhaps the offician “Nazi Party Philosopher”, Alfred Rosenberg, who was appointed by Hitler’s consent and was totally opposed to Christianity.

It is not atheism or religion that kills or molests, but ruthless savagery of man.
Only a fool lumps a group as one and the same, because of actions of the few.
over history, it would take hundred's of pages. I shall give you one big example:
Spain wiped out the entire indigenous population of the entire South America, Central America and parts of North America in the name of Christianity specifically, Catholicism. That is lot more than all of the people you listed.
During the Ottoman empire, the so called Caliphates did exactly the same thing to different solution. What do you call the so called religious right wing bombing Abortion Clinics because they do not agree with it.
Religions created by men has killed and are killing more people in the name of religion than any atheist has ever done. So, the argument stating atheists kill and religion doesn't is pure shit.
OK, but re Hitler you're also in a gray area, because whether he was an atheist or not, the largest portion of people he killed were killed for being Jewish. And one can go back centuries to find butchery in the name of god, including the Crusades, Islamic "conversion by the sword," the many wars fought in Europe between Protestants and Catholics, the Spanish Inquisition (cue the Monty Python skit), the slaughter of Central- and South Americans by the Spanish, etc., etc. How many Shiites and Sunnis have killed each other just in the last ten years? What does this prove? Simply that men will kill each other for virtually any reason. Religion is just one reason, but it's not a minor one.
