Historical proof of what has transpired in atheistic regime [View all]

[nightwing1240]

"Throughout the history of the Soviet Union (1922–1991), there were periods where Soviet authorities suppressed and persecuted various forms of Christianity to different extents depending on State interests.[1] Soviet Marxist-Leninism policy consistently advocated the control, suppression, and ultimately, the elimination of religious beliefs, and actively encouraged atheism in the Soviet Union.[2] However, most religions were never officially outlawed.[1]

The state advocated the destruction of religion, and it officially pronounced religious beliefs to be superstitious and backward.[3][4] The Communist Party destroyed churches, synagogues,[5] mosques and Buddhist temples, ridiculed, harassed, incarcerated and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with anti-religious teachings, and it introduced a belief system called "scientific atheism," with its own rituals, promises and proselytizers.[6][7] The total number of Christian victims under the Soviet regime has been estimated to range between 12-20 million.[8][9]"

Did you read the last line? :The total number of Christian victims under the Soviet regime has been estimated to range between 12-20 million." The Holocaust was an abomination and horrible but just compare the number of these victims to those.

Notice the language too; "superstitious and backward". Sound familiar?

I'd bet the number of victims would be even higher when considering Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot and others.

I'm not saying Christianity or religion is perfect but neither is atheism.
