E-NA6CE is so full of shit it is ridiculous. Stalin killed in the name of Christianity? That's funny seeing how he systematically crushed Christianity at every turn because he thought it undermined his authority. Try not spouting a bunch of bullshit until you've taken the time to actually read a book, mmkay?
And looking at this historic list of wars by death toll I am trying to pick out a couple that are based on religious differences. Seems to me most were started over control of land and resources. And this doesn't look much like 814 million deaths. Maybe there were a few dozen extra World War IIs that you are counting that I missed.
