You are right! Atheists are very quick to point out about the Crusades but the highest unverified number I've got so far is 9,000,000 deaths. But the Crusades lasted from 1095 and the last one was about 1600. So that gives like 9,000,000 / 500 = 18,000 per year? And the atheists also forgot that the Crusades were mostly a war between the Christians and Muslims so this average figure works out on both sides.
Now nothing can justify the killing of one soul, but during the Rape of Nanjing, 300,000 Chinese were massacred by the Japanese Imperial forces in 4 months. The official religion of Japan during WWII was Shintoism. And nothing compares with the killing by the communists who were essentially atheists. Mao and Stalin accounted for over 100 million deaths during their respective march to communism. And also Pol Pot. Mao and Pol Pot were not Buddhists and neither were Adolf Hitler and Stalin, Christians. The greatest murderers throughout history were indisputably atheists.
