But all that’s beside the point. Not all wars are fought on religious grounds, and yet people always say how many lives have been lost to religion. Atheists are just as violent as believers because human beings, with very few exceptions, are flawed.

Why did he want to dominate the world though, why did he want everyone to have blonde hair blue eyes etc. ? He could very well of gotten his agenda from something he misinterpreted from the bible, but he also might not of. It would be hard to say without him being questioned directly. That part is speculation, but the holocaust was due to religion, no ways around that, and that part is fact. Speculation + fact creates a decent case about his crusade being driven by religion.
You're right about atheists, people are just scumbags in general. Though how much less death would there of been without religion? I don't dislike religious people btw, just throwing that out there.
