North Korea: The Social Consequences of an Atheistic Communist Regime

The New Atheists love to make the argument that religion has killed more people in wars and fighting than any other kind of war or conflict. Of course they ignore the 20th century, and are obviously ignoring the 21st as well. It was the atheistic regimes that killed millions and millions in the 20th century (Don't forget Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and others. And no, Hitler was NOT a Catholic like my brother-in-law asserts!). The North Korean regime--that worships its leader rather than God--is in the process of killing its own people. Admittedly it is a slower process, but it is happening. This video on CNN shows the consequences of this atheistic regime. The regime's purposeful isolation from the world has caused a poor economy and poverty in its own country. Parents abandon their own children in despair. Living conditions for these children are poor. This is the story of a 19-year-old girl that is a survivor, but there are many more that have not survived.
