Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was a die hard atheist as it became to a Marxist. He was one of the main instigators of mass persecution of Orthodox Church clergy after Bolshevist coup d'etat. But Orthodox theology presumes that man is not a completely free agent: he can pursue his wishes only as far as God lets him do it. So, if Lenin persecuted clergy, it was God who gave him a possibility to execute it. But this is only the Christian way of thinking. Contrary to popular media brainwashing, atheists are not evil. Christians can be good, evil, or neutral, so why not atheists. This kind of bigotry is what allows science and logic to be persecuted. As well, not all Marxists are evil, either. That's like saying everybody in the Green Party is evil just because they have a different way of thinking. Deus Mortuus.
