Saying communist secularism killed more people than people have killed people over religion is a foolish statement. The Sunnis and Shiites alone have been killing each other over religion- the same religion- for hundreds of years. You can't put a body count on that kind of carnage. Do you really think more people were killed in the USSR than people have been killing eachother over religion globally?
The crusades, the spanish inquisition, the troubles in Ireland, the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda, etc etc. You really think one period of time for a nation stands up to all of that combined? Because that's what you said- and if that's what you meant.... then yeah, you're pretty far out there.
Even if you attributed every single person that died of unnatural causes while Stalin was in power, from treason to starvation, you'll never come close to what's been going on in the middle east for generations. In the grand scheme of things Stalin's rule was a blink of an eye, meanwhile in the middle east people are still blowing each other up over there. Muslim vs Muslim, Muslim vs Jew, etc etc. Centuries of hatred.
If you have any facts to present please do. I tried like hell to get a number of deaths directly attributed to secularism under Stalin and didn't find any sources that broke it out.
Here, I'll start you off:
