No. You need to understand that you don't get to decide who is Christian and who isn't. That is a personal choice that each person makes. It is a self-declaration of belief.
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.
Joseph Stalin, the dictator leader of State Atheism of USSR (Soviet Union) was very Anti-Religion, particularly Anti-Christian, that he murdered tens of millions of Christians, and destroyed many historical churches and cathedrals because he hated Christians, and religion so much. Many synagogues, and mosques were also shut down and destroyed.
Why did Stalin persecute and murder Christians, as well as destroying churches and cathedrals, and shutting down thousands of them?

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?
If he had been a Christian he wouldn't have done it. Christians don't do that stuff. But in the absence of a belief in God, life is devalued. Hence, we get guys like Stalin.

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.
