NOTE: I'm an atheist, not an angry Christian calling all atheists evil communists.

But listen. Religion keeps people under control. Religion gives people hope for the "afterlife", no matter how crappy their lives are.

Why did Hitler attack Christianity? Hitler, Mao, and Stalin all wanted religion gone.

If religion keeps the masses under control and gives them false hope, wouldn't it be advantageous for a dictator to keep them believing in their religion?

Discuss.
