Who's hedging and dodging?
You were the one who brought it up.
No one is denying the millions killed by atheistic Nazis and Reds. How could we? When the topic of bad religion is brought up you generally make it a point to remind us yet again of these godless collectivist murderers.
I think your trip wire is a little too sensitive, none of the previous posters spoke of religious-inspired massacres or made excuses for (or even mentioned) Nazis and Communists. In fact, most of the posters were quite sympathetic to religion and the thread was pretty non-political.
