I’m counting the dead not the oppressed … atheists haven’t been around long enough to rack up the same murderous numbers of death and destruction as theists have over the past few thousand years.
The Soviets and communist Chinese (both systems I disagree with and do not support) never launched full fledged pogroms, death camps or extermination programs of killing in order to get rid of religious groups … they oppressed and abused religious groups and maybe even killed often … but never to the level of industrial killing … the Nazis did that and even though Nazis may be identified as atheists, they had a political / ideological belief system that was more identifiable as a religion than a lack of belief
The only system in history that has any blood thirst for killing opponents has been and still is religious based.
Are we not including the numbers that died in various famines resulting in atheists thinking that because they aren’t religious they can just decide how science works? That’s like half a billion deaths from incompetent atheist governing.
I mean if you’re going to consider the Nazi movement to be a religious movement and not a nationalistic fascist movement then I think it’s fair to consider the famines under atheist rule to be religiously motivated too. Not nearly as much of a stretch as you’re making considering the writings by Trofim Lysenko.

Pol Pot has entered the chat. You ever hear of the Killing Fields in Cambodia, son? Some fucked up shit, maybe you’ll learn about it when you’re ready.
