Wen i say militant atheism i do not mean people who speak out against religion who have been labeled ''militant atheist'' but something like so called ''Marxist-Leninist militant atheism'' meaning sending religious people to concentration camps and prisons. loads of propaganda and i have even heard they made ''atheist museums'' where churches had once stood, so is not militant atheism in its extreme, as dangerous as religion in its extreme?
John, mostly wikipedia, and then the history of the soviet union
John, who said anything that stalin killed in the name of atheism?
godless, In the Marxist-Leninist interpretation communism was explicitly antireligious, if you are a militant atheist in the extremes you are still a militant atheist in the extremes even though you are ''motivated by communism''
sunrise, ''They are Communist, not Atheist. The two not necessarily the same'' it isn't ''necessarily the same'', it IS NOT THE SAME, but you can still be an militant atheist even though you are communist, and why do you al the sudden start to talk about how religion has more in common then atheism, that has nothing to do with the question, just wow.
humanistheart, ''Er, well since atheism hasn't led to mass genocide in it's name'' Who was saying that atheism has led to mass genocide ''in its name'' ? i was talking about MILITANT ATHEISM, there is a difference you know, In a extreme example of militant atheism as in the soviet union or some communist nations, they did indeed systematically and deliberately kill,torture and persecute religious people (remember you can be a militant atheist even though you are a communist)
