the context of the convo was the damage (specifically lives lost) attributable to non-religious movements because “duhcrossbones” said ‘religious right is responsible for more deaths than any ideology’ and ‘religion kills more than anything’. i listed 3 atheist-led movements in response to his still baseless claim. convo was not about lefty vs righty.
not sure what your rage essay defending stalin and adolf of the basis of political alignment was for though :wacko:
Here is a list of religious based killings/wars. Please find a singular push of ideology that has caused more in our history.
