Atheists, communists and Nazis into a single group is wild.
While communists or nazis may be atheists, that doesn't mean atheists are killers.

While, generally speaking, any group actively hoping, praying, for the end of the world is concerning.
People literally hoping that, simply based on the fact you don't want to follow their religious beliefs, they openly hope you get tortured for all of eternity, is pretty disturbing.

Any religion that feels justified in the misery and suffering of others simply because they are not the same religion as you, that is disgusting.

Don't get me wrong, I don't care what religion you are but when you try to impose/project your religious beliefs on others that do not share your beliefs, that I will fight against until my dying days.
