That's an easy answer . . . obviously they were too political and opposed to his politics. Isn't that what the atheists claim?

I've never claimed to be able to decide who is and isn't. I can read the Bible and see what a Christian is.

Your pompous and arrogant desire to label people based on YOUR standards of Christianity is truly mind-boggling.
And you're a hypocrite. You sit there and label me pompous and arrogant because I label people. You're intolerant. Please stop trying to bully people.

Why did Stalin persecute and murder Christians, as well as destroying churches and cathedrals, and shutting down thousands of them?

Sadly, it is often forgotten about it.

Huge Cathedral being destroyed in USSR 1931.
Probably for the same reason your god destroyed every living person on the earth by flood except for a handful of people who blindly followed him?

Religionists.

It was because they had pews of gold as the people starved. Stalin was an angry self-righteous man who didn't like factions threatening his power and spewing what he viewed as filth to vast amounts of vulnerable clients. The churches have no interest in Communism because then the people have no need for them. Why care about religion if you live in an equal, monotomous, hyper-centralized society.

Yes, I have no reason to doubt this. I see it everywhere I go. The corrupt religionists always scrambling for power and influence. Do you have prove that Stalin "believed" they were not too political but simply wanted to oppress them because they were such saints?

Peter the Reader. Emperor Constantine. Pope Urban II. The City on a Hill. Joseph Smith Jr. The massacres of the Christian Cathars. The massacres of European pagans and native Americans for their lands. Queen Elizabeth of Spain. The Nazi party and its Lutheran and Catholic supporters. Jones Town. Vietnam intrusion, Iraq War lies, Armenian genocide. There is non worthy among any.

Yet they did everything they did with the Excuse of Christianity in their forked tongues, and the Shield of Christianity fully enveloping them. Seems like if they believed it, then they were Christian. Unless they made some sort of mistake, like when a Scotsman doesn't realize he's not actually Scottish.

You forgot the Thirty Years' War (1618 - 1648), one of the most destructive wars in European history that killed up to 11.5 million people and changed the continent forever. The conflict between Catholics and Protestants played a major part in this.

I was seeking answers of 'Why did Stalin murder millions of Christians and burned down churches" and got nonsense, off-topic, and Anti-Christian responds from many atheists.

Please stay on TOPIC.

atheists never admit what evil things they have done both in past and present throughout the history.
