I think if Atheists really, truly believed in their own atheist ideals, they would set up totalitarian regimes to crush religious belief and criminalise dissent.

You mean, like in the Inquisition? LOL! Just imagine if they had machine-guns, mass-manufacture technology and nuclear weapons at their disposal, instead of single-loading muskets and primitive swords...

You mean like in Communist countries?
I belong to a Slovak parish. What you are speaking of happened, only it was the atheists doing it.

Read your history. Not all inquisitions are violent and brutal. The two most infamous were established at the request of political leaders, the monarchs of Spain and Portugal.

Men seeking power will use almost any means to achieve it and any excuse to justify it. This was just one.

But ultimately, the Inquisition goes completely against the teachings of Christ and the Bible. There is no way that it can be laid at the feet of Christianity as it is not justified in any way, shape, or form by the teachings of the Bible.

Pathetic try on your part.
