where is mao, starlin oh i forget they were atheist

[InuitInua]

@Imperialmatty Why yes they were. However, they are two and the religious are many.

the person that made this video surely dosent know nothing about history, first of all hitler wasnt an active practicer, same for most of them, so it dosent matter if you have a religion, you could still be an atheist and have a religion.

@kvn276 "you could still be an atheist and have a religion" wat

[bachaka61]

@kvn276 I agree. None of these dictators were practicing their religion fully. I really doubt that bashar al-assad really believes in his religion, with the way things are going on right now in Syria. I think he mostly believes in power, and staying in power no matter what, like all these other dictators mentioned in this video. Therefore, I believe most of them are atheists.

Kim Jong-il is an atheist. Juche is not a religion, but a form of socialism, just like Marxism/Leninism. More atheists/communists: Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Tito, Ceausescu, Hoxha, Kim Il-Sung etc, etc. Furthermore: Hitler was agnostic, Mussolini was irreligious, Milošević was an atheist, as well as Lukašenko. This doesn't mean that most of the dictators were atheists, but that formal religious affiliation doesn't mean anything, so we should avoid generalization.

[c0smicbyte]

I wonder how many of those despots truly believe in their religion? Probably none. They were just using religion as political tool. They most probably don't even believe in God in all honesty. Well, as for Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Tito, Ceausescu, Kim Il-Sung, Milosevic, etc., they were not pretending to be religious, so they belong to another category of crazies.

[J0nnyCArr]

this whole "Atheists are more evil, No Christians are more evil" argument is irrelevant. religious people do bad things and yes Atheists like my self do bad things to, u wanna no y ???? coz religion or no religion were all human were a violent immature brutal animal. it doesn't matter if u explain y Christians are evil or explain a y atheists are evil coz at the end of the days evil is evil, weather its with a god or without a god

[GODBLESSUSA100]

@GODBLESSUSA100 Also Were are Stalin and Mao, it is a complete factual statement to say that some (not all) but some of the worst dictators in History have been Atheists. Between Hitler, Stalin, and Mao.

[GODBLESSUSA100]

Hitler a Catholic? have you ever read a thing called a history book? The SS had an official position on Jesus, that he was the illegitimate son of a Jew. Does that sound Catholic to you?????

[DaPs166]

I love how people say hitler wasn't really a Christian. What does that even mean? He didn't only say himself he was catholic, the catholic church endorsed what he was doing! Look At the stone cold facts and stop using belief as a shield against truth.

[pryan96]

@InuitInua Kim Jong was an atheist and Hitler was not a really a Christian. Check wikipedia. And besides, you forgot Khomeini, Bokassa and Mobutu Sese Seko.

[mrs13inch]

this video is misguided

[MjXllcommando]

Hitler simultaneously believed in Christianity, paganism, the occult and astrology, he even sank war funds into his mad superstitions (read up on 'the vril') conclusion: the guy was nuts, probably cant pigeonhole him into one religion, but he was not an atheist in any way shape or form.

[whosyodaddyyy]

All these so called "dictators" shown in this video put together have killed less/ massacred less people than "Muslim-Theist" dictators. nobody can hold a candle to Islams atrocities aginst humanity, but the propaganda machine fueled by their money keeps beating the drum over the same lakies like hitler & stalin etc over & over.

[kvn276]

@bachaka61 well said :)
