Ben, who exactly perpetrated horrible suffering in the name of atheism in the last century? I'm aware of horrible suffering perpetrated in the name of racial purity and nationalism, and various economic models, but atheism? Could you name names?
I should point out that I'm also not aware of any suffering in the name of theism, though I am aware of suffering committed in the names of specific theistic belief systems. Nobody ever held a sword to anyone's neck and said "Profess belief in a deity—any deity—or I'll kill you!"
