"theblaze"?
Sorry - you just lost all credibility. Not to mention "answeringmuslims". Both very biased - and therefore, I won't bother to check the rest of your 'sources.'
Try NPR.

More Muslims have been, are being killed for their beliefs and because of their location than Christians. More gays are being oppressed, discriminated against, abused, imprisoned and killed for who they love and who they are than Christians. More women are being oppressed, enslaved and deprived of equal rights, because of their gender, than Christians.
That's really silly. The blaze is quoting an external source use that one. NPR? Thats hilarious, it's literally the propaganda mouth of the new world order,
Often they write books and blogs and such.

It's literally National Public Radio - a Non-Governmental-Organizaiton (NGO), a non-profit news outlet (501c3), which happens to be headed by EDUCATED people - National PUBLIC Radio.
Silly, is it? LOL!!!!
okay.
Pastor Reutilio Columbie, president of the Cuban Pentecostal "Shalom" Christian Center Church, will permanently suffer from brain damage after an attack by governmental agents.
Nope, not even close. 80 percent of all persecution is directed at christians.
Which is from god?
In point of fact, Stalin restored the Russian Orthodox Church in 1941, received the leaders of the Church in and sponsored the election of a new Patriarch in '43 helped reopen theological schools including the Moscow Theological Academy and Seminary, and the church expanded under Stalin's rule for the first time since the Revolution.
More of those messy facts that interfere with rhetoric ... LOL.
Raised in the Georgian Orthodox faith, Stalin became an atheist. His government promoted atheism through special atheistic education in schools, anti-religious propaganda, the anti-religious work of public institutions (Society of the Godless), discriminatory laws, and a terror campaign against religious believers. By the late 1930s, it had become dangerous to be publicly associated with religion.[101]
Stalin's role in the fortunes of the Russian Orthodox Church is complex. Continuous persecution in the 1930s resulted in its near-extinction as a public institution: by 1939, active parishes numbered in the low hundreds (down from 54,000 in 1917), many churches had been leveled, and tens of thousands of priests, monks and nuns were persecuted and killed. Over 100,000 were shot during the purges of 1937–1938.[102][103] During World War II, the Church was allowed a revival as a patriotic organization, and thousands of parishes were reactivated until a further round of suppression during Khrushchev's rule. The Russian Orthodox Church Synod's recognition of the Soviet government and of Stalin personally led to a schism with the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia.

My god, I surely hope so.
Any ETA on the Rapture that's due to pick you faithful "beleifing" Christians up, er, uh, literally?
Speaking on behalf of Antichrists world-wide ... we're ready for one helluva going away party for you!
LOL
I sense your anger and your frustration with your existence.
People have become vile creatures who's sense of vanity claiming to know something when they know nothing.
But if you actually read your second quote, rather than just cutting and pasting, you will find my comments are verified by your quote.
I have no opinion on whether Stalin was an atheist or not; I don't pretend to be able to read the minds of long-dead Soviet Premiers.
