Really? More people have been killed in the name of "not having belief in any deities" in 100 years than in the name of "God" in 2000? Do you have any documentation for such?
Read the article. References were listed that implicated communist Russia, communist China, and communist Cambodia. Add to that the Nazis, and you have a very bloody picture indeed.

And, like I said earlier, those atrocities were committed in the name of advancing a political agenda, not in the name of "no belief in deities" itself, at least not by any historical accounting that I've seen.
