away with tens of millions, but I do very seriously doubt that the
religious orientation of the victims had much if anything to do with it.
Nevertheless, I'll note the references.

>3) Yes I do make a distinction between Atheists and communists

"Bolshevic" [_sic_] leadership of the Soviet Union in the time of Stalin?
