Me and a friend decided to investigate the topic of religion and wars, since this is often a topic atheists bring up saying that they are inevitably linked. We found that religion wasn't the main cause of war at all, or suffering in the world and that more deaths have resulted from atheistic communism itself in the 20th century alone compared to crimes linked to religion.

Atheism, AND Communism are BOTH Just as much "Religions" as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, or Roman Catholicism.
