That is the new offensive of the new Christian. All bad people in Contemporary History have to be atheists. They still forget that it won't make a difference as they didn't kill in the name of Atheism, but that will make them feel better... If only they could find one good slaughter in the name of Atheism...
Neither Pol Pot nor Stalin had any religious belief. I'd say the same goes for Hitler, though he did dabble in some spiritual stuff.

Theology was a standard education in Russia back then. It's like studying marketing today.

But to say that any of the three did anything "in the name of atheism" is, of course, insane.
