The facts tell us you are completely wrong. Religious wars throughout the millennia have accounted for around a million poor people. Atheist countries have murdered well over 150 million in the last 100 years. Atheists are orders of magnitude more murderous than the religious people.
Q. What do all of the above have in common?
A. Monkeys. a.k.a. People. a.k.a. Humans.
The problem with history is not religious thought per se... the problem has been the use of religious thought in general and the popular ancient stories specifically, as well as agriculture, industry, family, social concerns, etc. for greedy political purposes.
The news is not all bad... history is also chock-full of examples of religion, agriculture, industry, family, social concerns, etc. being used for more altruistic purposes, both personal and political.

Oh no thousands of years of war and divide leading to the death of millions if not billions of people and to the misery of countless others all over filthy religious lies is not a problem according to what the rhetoric that religious propagate and what I am responding to s example of exactly that.
Go figure

There simply haven't been as many people alive for your claims to hold the slightest bit of water. The most generous estimates for the people murdered by religion over the last 2000 years is around a million to a million five. The last one hundred years has witnessed over 100 million murdered by atheist countries. That is not in doubt.
You're just quite simply wrong on all counts.
