Stalin ordered purges within the Soviet Union of any person deemed to be an enemy of the state (i.e. capitalists, theists). In total, estimates of the total number murdered under Stalin’s reign, range from 10 million to 60 million. His government promoted atheism with mass propaganda in school, and held a terror campaign against the religious. He crushed the Russian Orthodox Church, leveling thousands of churches and shooting more than 100,000 priests, monks and nuns between 1937 and 1938.
Mao Zedong (atheist leader of China) exacted revenge on all those, mainly intellectuals and professionals, who had disgraced Mao in his earlier career. He targeted anyone with links to the Chinese Nationalist Party as well as anyone who posed a threat to him. Five million were executed in death camps. 36 million were persecuted and tortured. There were even instances of cannibalism.
Pol Pot's (Prime Minister of Cambodia) regime singled out all intellectuals, and other “bourgeois enemies”, for murder. The Khmer Rouge committed mass executions in sites known as the Killing Fields, and the executed were buried in mass graves. In order to save ammunition, executions were often carried out using hammers, axe handles, spades or sharpened bamboo sticks. His attempts to “cleanse” the country resulted in the deaths of 1.7 to 2.5 million people. He also had an intense dislike of anyone with the semblance of being intelligent, such as those who wore glasses or who spoke another language.
Kim Jong-Il, the atheist de facto leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, responsible for the deaths of at least four million Koreans. .... Those caught stealing food in the famine-struck nation, or attempting to cross the borders, are subject to public execution. Kim is continuing his lavish lifestyle and military obsession in spite of the crumbling economy.... 250,000 dissidents are confined to “re-education camps”. ...

Jim Jones “took the church and used the church to bring people to atheism”. In 1978, 909 people at the restricted communist “sanctuary” he presided over in Jonestown, Guyana, committed “revolutionary suicide” at his command. Men, women and children took a
vial of cyanide and died within five minutes. This event was the largest single loss of American civilian life, in a non-natural disaster, up until 9/11.
Mao Zedong killed between 20 and 67 million of his “comrades”. His “Cultural Revolution”, led to perhaps the greatest era of cultural vandalism the world has ever known. Antiques, historical sites, artifacts, ancient documents, feng shui traditions, Chinese traditional dresses and monasteries were destroyed for being associated with the “old ways of thinking”. Many copies of the Qu’ran were burnt.
Despite what anyone here will say, when looking through history, atheists have certainly killed the most people, oppressed the most people etc. Just sayin...
