These tiny religious wars and persecutions are dwarfed by the atheist killings and persecutions of WW1, WW2, and Communist regimes. And abortions.
Atheism has killed more.

Trying to assign body counts to belief or non-belief in God is ridiculous. If you look at history it becomes pretty clear that a state is going to engage in war or genocide when it wants to regardless of whether or not its theistic. The pathological beliefs just get attached to the theist/atheist beliefs in any event. Both Amish and Muslims believe in God, but only the latter group runs around killing people over it. Trying to pin the murderous behavior of communists on an atheist libertarian is similarly fallacious.
