My point is that Lenin and Marx used the same rhetoric to advance their agenda. And look what happened. 100 million people were killed.

Most of the intollerance towards religious types is a direct reaction to particular types of intolerance coming out of certain religious types. The belief that a secular society should not be dictated to by a religious group is going to create friction... It should be noted that these same people would likely fight tooth and nail for the freedom of others to practice their religion (just not to prothelityze it).
As for Lenin and Marx resulting in 100 million killed... the same can be said of Capitalism... In the early days of the Industrial revolution to today there have been millions of people (globally speaking) that have been exploited and/or killed due to lack of regulations... It doesn't have to happen at the end of a gun or in gulag to make it count.
Again, the answer to this lies somewhere in the middle ground between the two extremes.
