What is special in atheism that in the last couple of centuries the most barbarous lot happened to be atheists like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Il Sung, Hitler, etc. who killed and butchered millions and millions of people and brought misery to the world He has merely listed the official enemies of the West. But what of the crimes of the Christian West? There is lot of material on this subject. Let me quote from a great scholar, novelist & philosopher, Andre Vltchek: Europe has not been built by the exertions and honest labor of the European people. It was built on the enslavement of colonized peoples; it is built on the unimaginable horrors visited on those hundreds of millions of men, women and children, who were slaughtered mercilessly by the colonial European powers. It is built through oppression, terror, and almost exclusively, on theft and plunder.
European colonialists ‘Open veins of Latin America’. They stole everything they could lay their hands on; in what is now Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and so many other places in Latin America. Some of the stolen gold was used to decorate the Vatican Churches and basilicas. The Spanish forced the native Bolivians to mine the silver. Nearly 10 million perished in the process. Europe committed slaughters that are unimaginable in today’s times, like those by the Belgian king, Leopold II, who was responsible for around 10 million lost lives in Congo, in the days when Congo had just a fraction of the population that it has now.
