I was talking about discrimination, the examples you are talking about are a lot more serious than what I would call discrimination.
I hesitate to get into this, but whatever
The two biggest tragedies of recent history have been done by non religious people. Hitler* (religion is replaced by National Socialism) and the Soviet Union (though I am sure this will be debated because arguably none of it was done in the 'name of atheism' thus should not be considered)
*No matter what some people argue Hitler was anti-Christian (though he tried to hide this). The Nazi party did call itself a Catholic Party in the early years but that had more to do with getting more people from Catholic Bavaria to join the Nazi Party than actually being a religious party.
I am no religious apologist, it is responsible for some terrible things but history would be no less violent without it. People are violent, simple as.
