I didn't realize that the Nazi's were religious.

The killings in WW1 weren't based on religion either as best I understand it.

Many died in communist China - and in communist Combodia.

My facts might be wobbly (I'm no historian), but I think they're essentially ok. I'm no great fan of religion really, but I don't know if we can blame it for the majority of killing.

It seems to me that humans will kill each other anyways... it just so happens that some of those who get involved in fighting also come from a religious background.
