The thing with Hitler is abiguous, we really can't say if he was an atheist for sure, but what about the fact that the vast majority of his followers were Christains. Atheism has never made anyone evil or murderous, but religion certainly has. Atheists like Stalin who have become mass murderers were sociapathic, paranoid, and really just crazy, and that had nothing to do with their atheism. Religious doctorine and beliefs on the other hand has been used directly to turn poeple on the boarderline of being crazy into full blown pyschopaths. It has made people who otherwise wouldn't kill into murderers, and murderers into mass murderers.
