If we look at frequency of mass slaughter instead of absolute numbers (i.e., taking into account how recently the atheist countries were established), atheism does seem to come out worse than religion. This may be an instance of the valley of bad rationality.
Voted up, but do the theists really get to pretend that the whole Han cultural complex isn't functionally atheist as they understand atheism? Or that Europe hasn't been atheist for generations by any standard according to which Russia and Germany were atheist?
The Taiping Rebellion in China looks a lot like the Communist revoltion in Russia in some respects, but it's pseudo-Christian (and is any Christianity not pseudo?). Maybe the conclusion should just be that revolutions are bad?
