No, but he was not an atheist.

He was raised into religion just like Stalin. And just like Stalin, he abondoned his religion in his adulthood, for something he viewed as better.
But I think Stalin was an atheist.

If he felt he was doing God’s work in his own twisted mind yes, if he believed in a god or religion then he wouldn’t be an Atheist.
If. That's extremely doubtful anyways.
Stalin was a confirmed athiest and he's responsible for way more death than Hitler. His lack of belief in any god had a lot to do with his motivations.
Originally posted by Quiero MotaEven with Stalin it was more about the power of the church and the influence that it had over the people than it was about god, he wanted absolute control and religion interfered with that. As for Hitler you could say because of his actions he was not Catholic but by his words he would still believe twisted or not.

Also how was Stalin a "confirmed" Atheist?

Re-read what I posted, I never mentioned that the church should have power. I'm talking about the early church's attempt at power. 😬

I don't see what good the church could do know. Times have certainly change, and it's a bit outdated.
