The 85 million - 100 million people murdered in the name of Communism is an important example.

The 85 million to 100 million people murdered in the name of Communism is but an example.

Sorry, it's been well documented that the Nazi ideology was anti-God. They were replacing God.

Nazism was the new "religion." Actually the founders were not Deists. (Ben Franklin claimed to be a Deist before he was an adult, but as an adult his views contradicted Deism.) But yes, one can argue that many of the Founders were neither Christians either. It would be more correct to say that their beliefs were between Deism and Christianity.

The 85 million - 100 million people murdered in the name of Communism certainly makes the point.

Indeed, Massachusetts had state government funded clergy thru the early 1830s.

And dont' forget, it was Obama who was a member of a viciously racist church for nearly 20 years, had the vicious racist Van Jones on his staff, came to the defense of the racism of the racist Prof. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and nominated a racist to the Supreme Ct.
