No, not by a long shot.
The abuses of the communist governments shows that belief in a god is not the source of man's inhumanity to man.
For example, Stalin ruled over a society where "undesireables" were removed or eliminated. At the other end of the spectrum, China
forces some women to have abortions.
So if there is a factor to blame for these types of debates and the bad things that can come from them, we don't need to blame God; we only have to look in the mirror.
