Actually, God is used to justify making up your own rules (e.g. “God says Kill The Infidels!”) far more often than atheism is.

40 million dead in communist China says you are wrong
30 million dead in communist Russia says you are wrong
5 million dead in communist North Korea says you are wrong
3 million dead in communist Cambodia says you are wrong
etc.

And PS - don't equate the God of Christianity to the god of islam.

I don't think the body count makes much difference, it's a function of technology. Time travel back to the Thirty Years War with a sufficient load of machine guns, radios, and Zyklon B and I suspect you'd see death tolls that would rank percentagewise with what the Communist regimes have done.

don't equate the God of Christianity to the god of islam

I see them as two of the dozens of gods in which I do not believe. That's not quite the same thing as "equating" them.
