You're completely wrong GC. Most of the killings have been done for non-religious reasons. Mao's 50 million, Stalin's 25 million, Hitler's 12 million were not religious.
That's just another anti-religious myth.
On the other hand, the religious people have done a heck of a lot of killing. Christians of certain periods have behaved as barbaric as anything we've seen during the last century. The Israelites wiped out men, women, and babies in Canaan, and a wide trail of blood followed the early Muslims on their jihadic crusades.
