Communism, however, is at its roots ment to create equality, USSR's Communism is a corrupted, twisted version of Totalitarianism. Unless we talk about Nazism, no government was Evil through and through, and yes, Stalin, Lenin, and the USSR have their rightful place on the ash heap. Yes, the western world is influenced by Christianity, however, Atheism also shaped the world into what it is, without Darwin, Nietzsche and Steven Hawkings what would we have in science? The world has had everything and everyone working together whether we knew or not.

It's crucial to note, however, that science and religion are by no means incompatible and should be used together.

Yes, the USSR was horrible - but all governments have done their fair share of horrible crap. Stalin, Mao, and the rest are all evil killers, undeniably. We do not praise them. I can respect Lenin, whom I see as having been purely misguided, and Trotsky, who was mostly a good man.
