Which religion (inc Atheism) is responsible for more death?

Communism begins from the outset (Owen) with atheism;" - Karl Marx

Have you even read the Communist Manifesto? I know for a fact you did not.

Karl Marx is also not the authority on Atheists. Again, there is no atheist organization that dictates the lives of atheists. You are making the fallacy of The Appeal to Authority . Marx is not an authority on Atheism.

Until you say something intelligent I am not taking you seriously

There is no such thing as Atheism. You are implying it is a coherent concept and group of people. Atheism is no more real than A-Call of Dutism yet alone A-World of Warcraftism. It is not even conceivable to many people who are atheists themselves and I am one of them.
I don't even care for the Atheist label but by default I am an atheist and above that a naturalist.
That's more or less how I see it.

I have not read the entire thread, did everyone come to agreement that atheists have by far (orders of magnitude) killed the most people?

"Religion is the opium of the people...Communism begins from the outset (Owen) with atheism;" - Karl Marx

"A Marxist must be a materialist, i. e., an enemy of religion, i. e., one who treats the struggle against religion not in an abstract way, not on the basis of remote, purely theoretical, never varying preaching, but in a concrete way, on the basis of the class struggle which is going on in practice" - Vladimir Lenin

Stalin...Mao..

Perhaps a few wiki pages are in order?

No Communism did this as part of it's doctrine, a political ideology. Atheism has no doctrine. You might as well pick any race and suggest X is responsible for more deaths all while ignoring a race has no doctrine what so ever. McCarthysim called, they want their rhetoric back

Christianity if you need to blame a religion for the lives lost in wars. But, most wars are fought for the benefit of the few and religion is just a ploy and excuse to fight.

The religion of Fundamentalism. Doing something just because someone else said so is what can cause good people to do bad things.

Your face causes more deaths than anything else, also yo momma.

Seriously: it's human nature to kill other people for being different or having a "strange" opinion. We're just a naturally violent species. Even if all current religions died out, we would find some other superstitious excuse to kill each other.
