I know your claim is that more people have been killed by secular humanists than all the religions throughout history, combined, you just never supplied any data to support that claim. What I supplied earlier was an extensive, but not exhaustive list that contradicts your claim.
Ive never been aware of any killing done under the banner of secular humanism. On the other hand, God is on our side, is a slogan often used to whip an armed force into believing their killing is justified. .
Lol, and no one has killed anyone under a banner labeled 'Religion' either, genius.
No, the secular humanists are a small subgroup of non religious who have slaughtered people for their own reasons; lust for conquest, lust for power, enslavement to foolish ideologies, etc. No one called it 'Secular Humanism', but that is what it was, lolol.
You should take some time to learn history.
I have forgotten more history than you will ever know dear.
Christianity might have crapped out if it hadn't been for Constantine winning his campaigns after having a "vision" to slap a cross on the shields of his infantry. There's that dynamic again though -- Constantine wants to be victorious, so he boosts the morale of his men by citing a fierce god will give them victory under "H"is name, and when they win, it seems the prophecy is upheld. Now that entire empire, safe and a lot richer, has a vested interest in being adherents to the religion that won the day. "lolol"
So what?
No one is arguing that the history of Christianity is free of bloodshed or that it has had no exploitative leadership who have done other harm.
The point is quite singular; Secularists have killed far more people in the name of secular causes and ideologies than the sum total of all religious causes combined.
Nothing you quoted about Constantine changes any of that.
