You're confusing atheism for a religion.
Those murders were conducted by oppressive governments with a specific agenda, that didn't come from some atheist scripture.
> What you’re describing is a people problem, not a religion problem.
It's a problem of organized groups of people motivated by a collective ideology. This is manifested primarily by religions, since most religious texts have some passages that reject foreign groups, or outright invite acts of violence against them[1,2].

- User23 3y ago> You're confusing atheism for a religion. Atheism is a religion. Atheists observably claim to have achieved gnosis. It’s agnosticism that is an absence of belief.
- amazingman 3y agoAgnostic atheism is a form of atheism. Atheism isn't a religion. It's not even a belief. It's just a lack of a specific kind of belief. Are there gnostic atheists? Sure. But even that is just a belief, and not a religion.
