atheists history.?

[Ryan Silva]

We hear of christians and muslims starting wars to spread their word, so what about atheists? have they ever started a war just cause.

[Think Tank]

Nope, But be prepared for the , stalin or hitler rant. No one has ever started a war in the name of Atheism

[Logic316]

Leaders who happened to be atheists have started wars for one reason or other, but none of them ever did it for the sake of spreading belief in "nothingness".

Not over religion.... although I can't think of one NOT over religion...

[Lily VT AM]

One might have, but not ever for atheistic reasons.
