Again, I agree. But very few have been as effective at it as the Catholic Church or the Muslim jihadists.

We will just forget the whole atheist driven communist progons and resultant wars in russia, china and southeast asia then too?

Where btw with the aide of "science" in a few short years more people were tortured and killed than in all of the crusades, inquisitions and jihads of history combined.

While the leaders of the communist movement may have been atheist, such atheism had little or nothing to do with their actions. Their whole purpose was to control the very minds of their subjects. To do this they had to remove any other controlling forces, such as religion. It was greed and the lust for power that drove those men, not atheism. And not science. The only use the communists had for science was in trying to keep up with western advances in armaments.

Can we say the same of those killed for the sake of religions?

An interesting list here, too.

?
So if you kill by way of religious intolerance, it is worse that to kill for lust for power?
The dead are just as dead.
