    I most certainly can, it's irrelevant.

    He was completly paranoid though.

    Stalin allowed a small revival of the orthodox church during the war, for the same reasons he reintroduced figures like Kutuzov. To call him either religious or royaliet on that basis is nonsense.

    It's like the "Hitler was a gay"-line of argument.

    hmmm I have always been told Stalin was Atheist - looking into it however I cant find any directly attributable quotes that go either way - its possible this is just revisionist history

    The USSR did promote Atheism rather strongly (outside of WW2) but this could easily be Stalin trying to shunt power from the orthodox church to himself...

    and Hax that is the "logic" exactly ...

    You don't assess a person based on a few quotes.

    Read up on communism of the era, and you'll find that Stalin was atheist.

    Heck, if he wasn't, he would've been whacked by Lenin in 1920.
