Someone was Ranting

 

about atheism, "Darwinism", Communism and Nazis

They seem to have got all these muddled up together, and they were blaming the confused coagulated conglomerate for the world's ills.

The following points are to help get this sorted out.

1) Evolution is not atheistic. It is accepted by major Christian denominations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_of_evolution_by_religious_groups

2) Communism comes from Karl Marx, not from Charles Darwin. Darwin refused Marx's offer to collaborate. Marx considered Communism to be scientific. Darwin disagreed. History agrees that evolution is science, whereas Marxism is not. https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/science/leading-figures/two-clashing-giants-marxism-and-darwinism/

3) Hitler was biologically illiterate. He considered the different "races" of humans to be like different species.Darwin showed that we all belong to the same species. 

4) A major influence on Hitler, and anti semitic German-speaking Christians, was the founder of Protestantism, Martin Luther, with his little hate-rant, "On the Jews and their lies". It was an inspiration for kristallnacht, and much worse.

5) German Christians supported Hitler and the Nazis because they saw them as a counter to Soviet-style atheistic Bolshevism, and because of a deep history of antisemitism. https://www.ushmm.org/collections/bibliography/christianity-and-the-holocaust

6) Agricultural disaster ensued when Stalin became enamoured of Trofim Lysenco, a pseudoscientist whose nutty ideas caused widespread crop failure and resulted in widespread starvation. "Darwinism" was regarded a "bourgeois" or "capitalist". Many Russian scientists were sent to the gulags, or worse, for defending mainstream biology. https://barryhisblog.blogspot.com/p/a.html?fbclid=IwAR1U9Pdhx74MWEpA9sjTCLlH6oRIkGspCOONoU4InyoQOrTbx-kXsXOZOVg

What enrages me is ignorant people ranting against a false oversimplification of history, blaming an atheism/Darwinism/Communism/Nazism congometate fantasy for its tragedies (tragedies still being played out today, as in the deadly, destructive and wasteful Ukraine mess).

Misidentifying the causes of these tragedies insults the memories of the victims of them, and at best, does nothing to help us understand, and, hopefully, try to prevent them from recurring.
