The death toll (difficult to measure) is roughly, Hitler’s holocaust 6 million, Stalin’s famine and terror 8 million, and Mao’s famine 30 million. But the greens have topped them all. In a single crime they have killed about 50 million people. In purely numerical terms, it was the worst crime of the 20th century. It took place in the USA in 1972. It was the banning of DDT.

Numbers are quite off.

Hitler killed 6M Jews, 12M total.

Stalin killed at least 20M, Mao probably closer to 100M than 30M.

Stalin should be "credited" with about 32-50 million: the famine, the slow murders in the death camps, the direct murders of prisoners and his countrymen in purges and revolutions, and the death of 3-5 millions of Germans and East Europeans (prisoners and combat casualties and civilian (deliberate) deaths in the War. Then add more: the indirect murders of his people through pollution and industrial "accidents" and contamination.

Mao: Similar, but fewer numbers are available.

Add Pol Pot, Vietnam, Romania, Yugoslavia, Cuba, Angola, and East Germany and East Europe (though still far fewer).... Add ALL the current Muslim wars - since the FIRST terrorist camps (the beginnings of the re-fueled hatred against the West and Israel) were the KGB-funded anti-Isreal camps in Libya, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Lebanon.

Humans kill... animals kill... nature kills... disease kills...

As far as religion... it depends which version of the Koran you believe in.

Nonsense.

Hitler's holocaust killed 11 million.
Stalin's famine and terror 40 million.
Mao killed at least 30 million and possibly as many as 60 million--no one really knows the exact number.
