I doubt as many as in all the Religous conflicts you mention, including 
the Crusades, the Inquisition, the persecution of the Jews (by 
Christians, Moslems, etc.). Communism is a new kid on the block, and 
would have had a long way to go to catch up to organized religion as a 
source of mass killing. 

Don't get me wrong, I am a believer, but I do think the organized 
religions have got it all wrong. I won't know for sure until I stand in 
judgement.

Talk about blasphemy! I just noticed we have a serious philosophical 
discussion....on SOC!
