Again, confusion.
Atheism is just the refusal to accept the presence or existence of (a) “supernatural” master(s). That is all. Full-stop. Communism is a lot more than that.
Barring divine intervention, there is nothing on earth or beyond that can make a real Atheist become Gnostic.
What exactly in Atheism motivates one to kill? Are murderes, say, in America, more likely to be Atheists? Or is the contrary the truth?

I know.

Communist dictators have killed people who have faith for no reason other then they're not atheist. Do you honestly believe that would have happened if the dictator was a Buddhist?
Capitalism Assumes people are basically selfish and will work hardest to benefit themselves and pass their neighbors by.
God tells us that we are ALL selfish by nature. Thus communism goes against the Christian principle of man's nature being sinful(selfish). Capitalism is the system that would be most likely to work best if God is correct about our selfish nature. Therefore only a foolish Christian would expect an altruistic system to work on large groups of people exercising their natural preferences outside of God's constant intervention. The story of Annanias and Sapphira illustrates how two people naturally chose to lie about their property rather than be altruistic while claiming to be altruistic even though they were holding back some of their property from the altruistic sharing. Needless to say communism will always need heavy handed enforcement to force people to comply against their nature.
Atheism is not only “...the refusal to accept the presence or existence of (a) “supernatural” master(s)”
The alpha-negative can bee seen as either a lack of somthing, or hostility toward something.
So atheism can also be defined as the directly hostile hatred for anything spiritual. And in that lies the base motive to kill believers.
