Abstract

World War II, the most devastating war in human history. The greatest losses were not great cities reduced to rubble, great naval ships sunk at the bottom of the sea, or the loss of morality. But rather the great loss of human lives along with great suffering. An estimated 75 million people lost their lives during the 6 year war. Much lesser deaths could have been if only there was no atheistic ideology behind the deaths. In this paper, I show you how and why atheistic ideologies contributed greatly to the 75 million dead overall, mostly in Europe and the former Soviet Union.
