The atheists do not kill anybody for availing rewards in an imaginary life here-after. The atheists you have mentioned were autocrats. Have you heard Lord Acton's maxim: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. That is what it is.
No religion has ever stopped any war. On the contrary almost 2/3rd of all wards fought were in the name of religions and non-existent gods. Pl search for "War Crime Tribunal" to understand the atrocities committed by the participants of WW-II (especially by the Japanse, predominently believing in Buddhist non-violence). The less we talk about other religions, the better.
Btw some one else killing more humabeings is no justification for the murder and mayhem the world over in the name of your religion. Pl don't segregate people on the basis of caste, creed,colour, religion, region, etc. It is human-suffering that we are concerned about (not religion-wise break-up).
