Again, atheistic regimes have killed more people in the twentieth century alone than all of the combined religions in the world have killed in all of known history.
But some atheists clearly choose to purposely dance around and ignore that fact.
What we’re seeing in the world today is an undue influence on all of culture…government, education, news media, social media, politics, the indoctrination of children and young people, medicine, science, etc….by the ideologies that are the polar opposite of those that influenced the development of Western Civilization.
And it for damn sure ain’t an improvement.
Prove your claim. Show why all these people were killed in the name of atheism.
Hitler was an atheist....He was not a devout Catholic. He was a cynical neo darwinist atheist who banned Christianity after using state of the art technology to efficiently kill thousands of Catholic priests and the head of the Lutheran Church. The first quote regarding the scourging was taken from Mien Kampf, Hitler's propoganda attempt to seduce a nominally Christian country to Naziism. That was written at a time when people were starving in the streets of Germany and looking to channel their desperation and anger. The second quote to Engel was never uttered. Taken from Engel's supposed diaries, Engel admitted later his book was a hoax. The Nazis began as the Thule society, a collection of atheists, neo pagans and satanists. Satanism was very prominent in the SS culture. The Allies considered prosecuting the Nazis for Christian persecution after the War, but decided it would be duplicating their efforts, since they already had prosecutions going for the Holocaust. Germany never did fully return to faith.
And there are many more.....
Hitler did not kill on behalf of atheism. Atheism was not the motivator.
In a 1922 speech, Hitler said:
"My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who — God's truth! — was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man, I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord, at last, rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian, I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice."
"...And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian, I have also a duty to my own people. And when I look on my people, I see them work and work and toil and labor, and at the end of the week, they have only for their wages wretchedness and misery. When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them. If I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today these poor people are plundered and exploited." Nazis and Atheism
The NSDAP Party Program stated:
“We demand freedom for all religious confessions in the state, insofar as they do not endanger its existence or conflict with the customs and moral sentiments of the Germanic race. The party as such represents the standpoint of a positive Christianity, without owing itself to a particular confession.”
Positive Christianity adhered to basic orthodox doctrines and asserted that Christianity must make a practical, positive difference in people’s lives. It's difficult to maintain that Nazi ideology was atheistic when it explicitly endorsed and promoted Christianity in the party platform.
Communism and traditional socialism were both hated and oppressed by the Nazi party — which argued that, as atheistic and Jewish ideologies, they threatened the future of both German and Christian civilization. In this, most Christians in Germany and elsewhere agreed, and this explains much of the Nazis' popular support.''
