Joseph Stalin was an Atheist.

@CuddyCruiser Stalin went to a religious school as a young person and then from ages 15 through 20 was a seminary student at a place for the training of eastern orthodox priests and was a top student who was known for reading and quoting the bible. Whether he was an athiest at heart remains unknown. He was a bloodthirsty monster, which was not beyond the behavior of christians.

@CuddyCruiser to add that I have been in Russia 3 times and there is a large orthodox church going population. That Russian are communists and athiests by definition is a myth. And there remains a large Stalin cult not unlike the Trump cult.

@CuddyCruiser Joseph Stalin, born as Loeb Besarionis dze Jughashili was the youngest son of a Russian Orthodox Lay-Preacher, became the Bearer of the Russian Orthodox Church's Triple-Armed Cross at the age of 11 years, married in the Orthodox Church at 21 years of age, his wife died from complication of Giving Birth to their still-born daughter 3 and a half years later.
He remained a member of the Russian Orthodox Church right up until his death.
I don't know where you get your often erroneous information from, be it the backs of Cereal Boxes, the walls and doors of Public Lavatories, etc, etc, BUT I humbly suggest that you ACTUALLY try reading BOOKS for a change.
You do KNOW what books are and look like I assume?

@Triphid What have i said is wrong? That Stalin is an Atheist? I read that in a book about the history of WW II and in the “Rise and fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer. And have seen it on documentary’s on the history channel. And what else have I posted on here is untrue? And if I did, why did you not respond to it then?

@CuddyCruiser YOU stated that Joseph Stalin WAS an Atheist.
100% INCORRECT as both @healthydoc and myself have TRIED to how you.
You HAVE READ 1 Book on the History of WWII and 1 on "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich."
May one ever so humbly enquire as to WHICH University you wish to take up your tenure as Professor Emeritus of Modern History perchance?
Oh, and btw, I did NOT say 'untrue', I did, IN FACT, ASK "where you get your often erroneous information from...."

@Triphid How Often? What else have i commented on is false?

@CuddyCruiser YOU WANT me to list them?

@Triphid Most of the comments I post on here are mainly my opinions and what is on my mind. But if your claiming certain things I posted are false and inaccurate, then I would like to know what it is.

@CuddyCruiser "Opinions'/What is on my mind," okay, BUT when making comments re-history and things re-sciences, etc, it may well help if one CHECKS the facts FIRST and Foremost.

@Triphid Ok. I thought what I read about Stalin Being an atheist was true. And let’s face it, nowadays with all the false info out there, it’s easy to make an error. But I have spent a lot of time reading and studying the years of the Third Reich.

@CuddyCruiser As one who has Post-Grad Degree in both Modern and Ancient History I would NOT be overstating if were to say I would have read far more books written by far far more Authors on BOTH of those subjects than you have.
And by no means am I boasting/bragging or what-so-ever you may well think.

The Nazis’ interest in the United States policies and laws regarding American Indians originated with Adolf Hitler himself. In his book Mein Kampf, Hitler discussed U.S. laws and policies and noted that the United States was a racial model for Europe and that it was “the one state” in the world that was creating the kind of racist society that the Nazi regime wanted to establish. In a 1928 speech, Hitler stated that Americans had “gunned down the millions of Redskins to a few hundred thousand, and now keep the modest remnant under observation in a cage

@Healthydoc70 Yes, I agree with 110% on that, I have read and re-read Mein Kampf ( My Struggle in English btw) numerous times over the last 50+ years.
The correlations between the "Final Solution" as per the Nazi Ideologies regard Jews and the 'Untermensch" and the Genocide committed by the Americans on the Indigenous Native Americans sticks out like a very sore and swollen thumb.
Remember, if you will The Trail of Tears where approx. 7,000 men, women and children from the Cherokee peoples and their allied " Civilised Nations" were herded like cattle from the Carolinas to Oklahoma, of the 7,000 that started the walk ONLY approx. 3,000 survived, the SLAUGHTER and attempted Genocide committed by George Armstrong Custer on a quiet, sleeping, peaceful Indian village containing ONLY women, children, babes in arms and OLD men PRIOR to the the Battle of the Little Bighorn where Custer got exactly what was due to him, i.e. his Genocidal Arse kicked firm up between his ugly, bigoted shoulders, the ' introduction' of the Bounty of Baubles, Beads, Booze, during French-American Wars etc, etc, for Scalps by the French and English Settlers to the Native American Indians BEFORE the War of Independence, the 'providing of KNOWINGLY Infected blankets riddled with Smallpox' to the Native Americans, the buying, selling/trading of Native American Women and girls by the White Settlers, poisoning of water-holes used by the Native Indians by the Whites, need I go on further.
The Great American Holocaust is STILL alive and kicking BUT no-one dares to bring Charges of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity, etc, against the U.S. do they?
WHY NOT when the U.S. was and is, imo, just as bad, if not, WORSE than the Nazis were?

We should also remember that Hitler's ideals and even his appurtenances were happily imported by numerous Americans during the 1930's. The German American Bund sponsored a rally at Madison Square Garden in early 1939 that filled the arena with 20,000 Nazi-saluting American fascist racists and their sympathizers. World War II drove these fasicsts into hiding, but their views are in the DNA of all too many Americans, as recent events have demonstrated.

It’s the exact same thing brother.......only things different are Geography, the words spoken and individual(s) that promote it.

Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, the Vichy French and the Irish collaborators were all Catholic. What a PR coup for the church when they dodged any blame.

That’s all they know. And have absolutely no desire to change it either.

@Buttercup virtually all Nazis were church going catholics and lutherans.

@Healthydoc70 Definitely so considering ALL Nazi belt-buckles had the words " Gott mitt Uns" (God is with Us) stamped into them.
