More specific terms for mass murder
The twentieth century has seen some of the greatest examples of mass murder, tragically. Instead of simply speaking of "mass murder", the word "genocide" is often used to refer to these incidents, especially in the case of killing all those of a particular ethnic group by their own government (see also democide, or ethnocide if the grouping is based on religion). According to Black's Law Dictionary, the term was popularized by the 1948 "Genocide Convention" of the United Nations, to deal with the special problems posed by the Holocaust, and international wishes to prevent a recurrence of the same.

In the name of creating their version of a religion-free utopia, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong produced the kind of mass slaughter that no Inquisitor could possibly match. Collectively these atheist tyrants murdered more than 100 million people.[1]
Socialism and mass murder
Socialist eschatology and apocryphal rhetoric has often motivated young people to commit desperate and even suicidal acts. Climate change gloom-and-doom has motivated some socialists to commit irrational acts. Anti-corporate fingering pointing has at times created lawlessness and supposed 'justification' for violence. Desperate rhetoric about student loan debt and underemployment can create hopelessness and have a devastating effect on immature minds as in the case of the El Paso Walmart shooter.[2]
Communist regimes killed 60 million in the 20th century through genocide, according to Le Monde, more than 100 million people[3] according to The Black Book of Communism (Panné, J.L., Paczkowski A. et al., 1999).[4] and according to Cleon Skousen[5] in his best-selling book The Naked Communist.[6]
Atheism and mass murder
See also: Atheism and mass murder
Christian apologist Gregory Koukl wrote that "the assertion is that religion has caused most of the killing and bloodshed in the world. There are people who make accusations and assertions that are empirically false. This is one of them."[7] Koukl details the number of people killed in various events involving theism and compares them to the much higher tens of millions of people killed under atheistic communist regimes, in which militant atheism served as the official doctrine of the state.[7]
It has been estimated that in less than the past 100 years, governments under the banner of atheistic communism have caused the death of somewhere between 40,472,000 and 259,432,000 human lives.[8] Dr. R. J. Rummel, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Hawaii, is the scholar who first coined the term democide (death by government). Dr. R. J. Rummel's mid estimate regarding the loss of life due to communism is that communism caused the death of approximately 110,286,000 people between 1917 and 1987.[9]
