Why do you call people liars when you haven't done your homework. Just to mention one Christian atrocity: over 30 million Indians were killed during the Age of exploration in the America's alone. That's just a tip of the iceberg.
I'll return to this when I have more time.

By the way, saying I'm a friend of Castro is a cheap shot and unworthy of someone who doesn't want this forum to be a house of lies. I'm not a friend of Castro's, or any other tyrants, including butchers like Pol Pot and George Bush.

Since you hold religion responsible for the atrocities of the religous and lump all believers together, it seems perfectly reasonable for me to hold athiesm responsible for the atrocities of athiests and lump all non-believers together.
