People (particularly religious zealots) like to claim that the French and Soviet revolutions were "rational" but they ignore: 1) The villain of the French Revolution, Robespierre, wasn't a rational atheist but in fact founded his own pseudo-Christian religion "The Cult of of the Supreme Being" and actually had actual French atheists executed. 2) Stalin, who was responsible for most of the Soviet deaths actually went to seminary and trained to be a priest.
