We should talk about body count, and we should also talk
about mechanisms for killing. Either way you look at it,
disease could kill a larger percentage of a medieval or
classical population than human design up until the mass
production of firearms. With the exception of China,
exterpating entire populations has been limited to
siege warfare against nominal city states.
In the end, we're faced with one clear fact, an
analysis of warfare yields that fatality is
unquestionably slanted towards this century.
Of that, the greatest number of people killed
in this century were the kings of all atheists:
Commies.

I doubt it. Let's face it, atheists have made few friends
and many enemies espousing their Godless universe. In
the end, many come off as the stereotypical philosopher
king who's grown out of touch with his target audience.
Others have become hermits, huddling in their small
groups while theists run the world. Beyond that, deists
have had a much more respectable impact on world affairs than
atheists
