Atheists as a majority

[Sycophant]

Sure you can say that they 'worshipped the state' or somesuch. At which point you're definately in "No True Scotsman" territory. They're not Atheists because, even though they stated they were Atheists, they didn't act like Atheists are supposed to! Pure Scotsman.

But Atheism was a 'symptom' of that system, not it's cause.

That the Soviets (and other communist states) were atheist is largely immaterial to their actions, which were motivated not by their atheism, but by political ideologies.

Hardly disagreeing with that. I think political causes are behind most, if not all atrocities commonly attributed to religion, or lack thereof.

And economic power. Between the two, ideology is the Libertarian party candidate in a Presidential race.
