1. Hitler = Roman Catholic

Stalin willing to kill an atheist and save a clergy member who wouldn't oppose his rule.
Mao was a religion unto himself.

I realize you're taking a sort of anti-God approach here that I agree with, but by grouping Hitler, Stalin and Mao together, you're implying they were all atheists. I'd argue they ENCOURAGED theism, with themselves as the Gods, much as N Korea now has a theocracy with Kim Jong Un as the Dear Leader Lord.
