Slag, you are confusing totalitarian communists with atheists. It wasn't their atheism which made them murder. It was their nutty belief in communism/socialism which did it, backed by the enormous totalitarian ego.
We libertarian atheists don't get involved in any attacks on people. It's the nutty superstitious and greedy totalitarians who do the killing and robbing.
Nutty means "detached from reality" which means those who have belief in things which are unobservable by other people. Note that doesn't mean Albert Einstein was nutty because he believed in his relativity theories, which couldn't be understood by most others, and observations of the effects had to wait for some time for technology to catch up with his ideas.
You thinking "atheists" were responsible for the carnage is like thinking "African Americans" were responsible for the crimes in New Orleans. Sure, they happen to be melanin rich, but just as the totalitarians were atheists, but that's confusing correlation with causation. Crime is carried out by minds, not melanin content of skins. The ideology of both crimes [confiscatory murder in socialism and looting in New Orleans, which are actually the same ideologies, both being looting] is the same.
The looting ideology is not caused by melanin or atheism. Plenty of socialist looters are Christians, Moslems etc, not atheists, and plenty of looters are low on melanin. One doesn't need to be either an atheist or melanin rich to take an interest in looting. But plenty of looters are both atheists and melanin rich. Most looters also have feet, but it's not because of the possession of feet which causes looting. You need to look at the other end of the body. Looters also have hands and some religious people think that hacking off a hand will fix looting. Which it might as the risk of dehanding is some disincentive to looting. But defooting would work just as well, while leaving the person more able to earn a living. It's not the hands which cause the looting.
Dehanding is just another example of nutty superstitious people.
