atheist heros Clinton, Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Kim Il Sun, Castro

Clinton and Hitler were Christian. And an interesting part of Stalin's life is:

In 1888 Stalin began attending the Gori Church School, where he learned Russian and excelled at his studies, winning a scholarship to the Tbilisi Theological Seminary in the Georgian capital in 1894. ... Stalin began his studies at the seminary as a devout believer in Orthodox Christianity
No reference in the bio of him renouncing his faith.

That's good. I think I had read about that, a long time ago, but it completely slipped away from me. Now, when some bozo shows up and says that Darwin is responsible for the evils done by Stalin, I can toss that little goodie out. (As if either Darwin or the church were to blame ...)

No, no, no. Clinton, Hitler and Stalin may have been born Christians. However none of them were Christian when they came to power just as most of the evolutionists on this forum were born Christian and no longer are.
