Face it guys, Stalin was a nut, very little of what he did made any real sense. He killed Theists because they believed in a god, and athiests because they were anarchists.

I don't get it, maybe I'm not articulating my point correctly? I mean there are only three possibilities here, I'm not articulating my point, he is laboring under a misapprehension or it's just down right denial.
He killed Christians because they held an ideology, he killed Anarchists because they held an ideology, he killed democrats because of their ideology, he killed the farming caste's because of their ideology what is so hard to understand here that it wasn't a matter of Stalin being Atheist or not, he was a despot plain and simple. All that means is that he sees himself as a god, and today some see him as a Saint or political hero.
The point is that Atheism had nothing to do with that he killed Theists, the man was a megalomaniac. That's the point I've been repeating over and over, and the difference maker of your argument. It's the argument that non-believers are some how morally depraved without god or the insinuation there of.

Well, I tend to side with you, Stalin killed everybody who held ideals differant than his own because they posed a threat to his regime.
