The claim that Stalin and Mao were examples of murderous 'atheists' is a fallacy. They did not commit their acts in the name of no god. It wasn't what drove them. All the murders and genocides committed by theists WERE committed in the name of their god.
Non-sequitur. Stupendous ignorance and denial ha ha.
Atheism leads to communism. That's how it goes with liberalism. The thinking goes if there isn't a God, then there is no one to judge me. Atheists and evolutionists are already on the path to hell, i.e. the wrong path. You are a good example of one who is usually wrong.
In a nutshell,
"Karl Marx said, "Religion is the opium of the people". Marx also stated: "Communism begins from the outset with atheism, but atheism is at first far from being communism; indeed, that atheism is still mostly an abstraction."
Vladimir Lenin similarly wrote regarding atheism and communism: "A Marxist must be a materialist, i. e., an enemy of religion, but a dialectical materialist, i. e., one who treats the struggle against religion not in an abstract way, not on the basis of remote, purely theoretical, never varying preaching, but in a concrete way, on the basis of the class struggle which is going on in practice and is educating the masses more and better than anything else could."
Friedrich Engels wrote of atheistic evolutionism and communism: "Just as Darwin discovered the law of development of organic nature, so Marx discovered law of development of human history."
In 1955, Chinese communist leader Zhou Enlai declared, "We Communists are atheists". In 2014, the Communist Party of China reaffirmed that members of their party must be atheists.
In 2016, the International Business Times reported:
“ A senior Chinese advisor on religious affairs has said the country should promote atheism throughout society, in remarks that appear to reflect a deepening campaign to reinforce traditional Marxist values in China — and could add to concern about official attitudes among believers in the country’s five officially recognized religions.[7] ”
There is growing persecution of Christians by the Chinese government."

"According to the University of Cambridge, historically, the "most notable spread of atheism was achieved through the success of the 1917 Russian Revolution, which brought the Marxist-Leninists to power."
