Stalin credits Darwin with leading him to atheism.
As for Lysenko:
As for Hitler, Richard Weikart , a respected historian, wrote a book making a strong case for that he was influenced strongly by Darwin.
And remember, Hitler was anti-Catholic/anti-Christian. His goal was to destroy the Catholic Church and Christianity.
Why would you take the word of a mass murderer? In contrast, we know Stalin trained in a seminary. We don't have to take his word for it.
Progressively thinking biologists, both in our country and abroad, saw in Darwinism the only right road to the further development of scientific biology. Reactionary biologists have therefore done everything in their power to empty Darwinism of its materialist elements. Trofim Lysenko
Boy, you really have quote mining down to a science. You find a quote page, and then mine it further, ignoring the quotes that contradict your position.
Lysenko didn't understand Darwinian inheritance, and thus anything he said about it has to be taken with that caveat. Wikipedia has a full article on Lysenkoism. It nicely summarizes it thusly: Lysenko's actual "science" was nonexistent. He was a proponent of the ideas of Ivan Michurin, and practiced a form of Lamarckism, insisting on the change in species among plants through hybridization and grafting, as well as a variety of other non-genetic techniques.

Wow, an article from a religious periodical. That's convincing.
Here's Hitler in his own words. He constantly professed to be a Catholic/Christian. Therefore, it's really odd to say he was anti-Christian.

My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. Hitler 1922
I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so. Hitler, 1941
