Christianity does not run things with the world and never has. Looking only at the 20th century atheistic communism has been responsible for for the most deaths ever.

You mean 20th century atheistic nations like China, whose economy is quickly overtaking America's? Or maybe atheistic Japan, which has fewer murders in an entire year than America has in a single day.
Actually, no matter how frightening they are, the deaths caused by the communists are only a tiny proportion of the overall brutality of the world. And they haven´t done it in the name of no religion, remember that. However, you do have run things with the world. What about the Crusades?, what about the witchhunt?, what about Religion wars?
Christianity does not run things with the world and hasn't since the Dark Ages. Looking only at the 20th century, religious zeolotry has been responsible for the most deaths ever.
Fixed!
Also, looking before the 20th century.
Christianity does not run things with the world and never has.
Baltic Crusades, 'Holy' Crusades, Inquisition, Wars of Religon, Thirty years war, etc, all because some guy combined christianity and the roman imperial cult nearly two millenia ago.

Now if we're only to look at the twentieth century, well... there's quite a few problems with that. And the deaths you're so vigoursly belittling were in the name of communism, a political ideology, not atheism.
You can't start with an absolute like "never" and then go on to "looking only at the 20th Century."
You also happen to be incorrect.
Pretty much with every word.
Officially atheistic regimes like that of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, etc., are just as religious as a theocracy like the Taliban. They simply replaced a theistic concept with a cult of personality and worship of the state that has all the trappings of a conventional religion.
Confused?
