An Alternate Human

B0b Barker writes "What has six limbs, a prehensile tail, its brain in its chest, and reproductive organs in its mouth? The alternate human designed by biologist PZ Myers in Remaking Humanity, a story in Forbes.com's package on Reinvention. It may sound fantastic, but researchers are already working to re-build DNA, proteins and cells in a new field called synthetic biology, and we may have to meet these bug-eyed freaks sometime in our lifetime."

I picked 1945 because that is all the data that was available from that source
But even when you through in Hitler who was not a christian and the Armenian holocaust you still are far below the death toll from atheists.
Do the math.
China in china. 35 Million
China in Tibet 1.6 Million
USSR in the USSR 21 Million
North Korea 2+million

For the atheists you have an estimate of 59 million deaths.
It is easy to classify those deaths as atheists simply because they are all communist dictatorships and atheism is the state policy.

Nazi Germany 6 million.
Armenians 1.6 million.

Only if I was trying to prove the having a religion was morally superior to being an Atheist. I am not making that claim. I am only claiming that being an atheist is not proof of moral superiority.
Those that think I am trying to prove that religious people are better than none religious people are simply reading their own fears or desires into what I am stating.
